We ran into an old guy (92) driving a mini cooper. I asked him why a mini. Without skipping a beat he said "because the chicks dig it" .. Here is to all the old guys who have it, who still get it and who pass it on.

I've had a few conversations like this with elders my whole life. Seems like I blew them off because I was young and always thought that won't ever be me. Well the older you get the reality sets in that we are all going to be there some day. Enjoy life while you can it, hauls *** on by you if you don't. Thanks for sharing 45.

One of the many great parts to riding Harleys is that you can meet all sorts of people. Some are really cool, some not. But the really cool people are fun to talk to, respectful, and simply remind you that not all of humanity is lost.

That's funny! I offered but he said he didn't want to try. To hard to get on and off. He did ride with his son last year and used a step stool to climb on and off.

Thanks for all the comments. It was good to talk to him, and as someone said ... It made his day and ours.
