Mid life ......




Well a year and half into retirement and I needed to do something daring, stupid, inmature. I dont; know. Last year Sylvia bought me a scooter to comute back and forth to work ( a 33 mile round trip). Well after driving it for a year and putting 6300 KM on it I tested the speedometer. Well I found out when I thought I was doing 55mph I was really only going 43mph. That king of scared me because here I was driving roads where the speed limit was 55. Know I understand why I got so many dirty looks. Anyway I felt it was time to get a big boy bike so last week I bought a 2005 Honda Shadow. I always wanted a motocycle but fears kept getting in the way. So now I can eat bugs better and faster.
