when it takes you 2 hours, 7 trips to the car and shed to load up then another hour, trying to figure out if you have everything all for 45 mins of riding time, and when you get there you forgot to fill the cans up at the petrol station.

When your nasal and ear hair grows faster than you head hair.

When you find yourself in a revolving conversation with a pimply faced kid about the bike in the back of your ute that goes something like this.
"G'day mister what kind of bikes that?"
"It's a bultaco son"
"Oh cool, what's that then a Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha?"
"No it's a Bultaco"
"Sure but who makes it Kawasaki?"
And around we go.

When you call a 20 y/o a "pimply faced kid"

When a young fella ask "what the hell is that your riding"
When its more exciting catching up with everyone than riding at a VMX meeting  
When the leg length of ya mx pants is smaller than the waist
When ya would jump something without thinking about it
When ya pack ya pills into ya MX gear bag
When something happened 20yrs ago but ya say 10yrs ago(where did that other 10yrs ago??)
When modern MX bikes all look the same
When the most important safety gear is ya kidney belt
When there is more hair growing out ya ears then on ya head
When ya cant open beer bottles with ya teeth(or is that just getting wiser)
Ya know ya getting older when ya know ya wiser(well at least ya think so)
Ya know ya getting older when ya think "where the hell is the white flag".
If at first you dont succeed, give up and drink beer

When you complain about all the young blokes racing in your class, and those young blokes are 35

A five lap race feels like a 45 minute moto (unless you're Squirtmoto)

In Magoo's case: It's getting harder and harder for sexual harassment charges to stick!

Some others: You know you are getting older when-Happy hour is a nap.
                                                                    -It takes two tries to get off the couch.
                                                                    -When your Doctor doesn't give you X-rays anymore but just holds you up to the light!
                                                                    -Your idea of a night out is sitting on the verandah
                                                                    -You remember when the Dead Sea was only sick.
    Some oldies but goldies from all-over.
