you know your getting old when....

[Doc]

In tradition of the ol' ADB's..feel free to add your own truths 

You know you're getting old when...


even with spectacles you still need a good magnifying glass and a bright sunny day to read the numbers on main jets!

when you build your bike box stock standard and you're justifiably proud of the fact!

when simply putting on your safety gear instigates the need for a short pause to catch your breath!

when gravity appears to be on the increase!

[brent j]

When dirt now feels harder than bitumen used to...............

When you fall over and wonder what else you can do while you're down here.................

When you realise you're turning into your father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wombat]

When your kids choose the radio station and you hear yourself saying, "This modern music all sounds the bloody same!!" :'(

[All Things 414]

If it's over 21 degrees, it's too hot to ride, if it rained three weeks ago, it's too wet!
Velcro is your best friend and....
Asking the missus to get you out of your gear isn't as romantic as it once was! 

[All Things 414]

You'd rather park near the toilets than the pits.

[Hoony]

it takes you 3 weeks to clean your air filter

you only work on your bike when you have a ride coming up and then its a panic to get it ready in time

you take you wheels to the shop for new tyres to be fitted

you can't start your bike cause it has a %*#@ Electrical Fault

[cyclegod]

When you've gone from being a Crusty Demon to just plain crusty

[smalls717]

When you spend more on your bike than you do on hair products (ie; new bike sales people).

[Tony T]

I still like looking at naked women, I just can't remember why.

I get a lump in my throat instead of my pants when I do see one.

Of course they were Super Hunky quotes............ I'm not that funny............. 

[Hoony]

you spend way too much time on this forum instead of riding the forkers

[Tony T]

I takes me an hour to get warmed up, and by the time I'm warmed up, I'm knackered.

[Gerard De Ruyter (Twistandshout)]

you spend all your time between races dreaming about it, then you race for a tiny part of the day and go as slow as, then spend all the time till the next race recovering.

[pokey]

When the must haves  on a new bike is a start button.

 When you actually do listen to the cheese and kisses

When your riding gear looks remarkably like Lawn bowls cremes

[090]

When your chest goes to your stomach

When you start saying " back in my day" or " kids these days have no respect" and alike

When you lose your train of...........post office! I must get to the post office!
