What I can't understand is how you were able to work on your bike and find other riders without cell phones, internetz and puters...
It is crazy man.
In 68:
MLK Jr. Assasinated.
Nixon elected US president
US troops were still in Vietnam
The wheel was invented
Australia's first casino license was granted
The Who was escorted from a departing Sydney flight for, "bad behavior"
Congrats on long riding career - from the middle of the States I'd wish ya another 40 but I'm just not sold on the idea of seeing an overweight 80 year old Aussie with plumbers crack on an otherwise sexy F3.
Take care buddy - ride safe
