Post your Pain…

You still race Bmx…your the man! But what is with the platform pedals..do they have a old school class where clipless is not used or you prefer that way. I know I ride funny now on platforms because I have become so use to being cliped in..I pop off the bike unstead of the bike moving with me now…have no clue how I did that stuff as a kid any more 😳

Ah, great minds… very nice Mr. W.W., excellent choice in pedals!

You know the thing with those Triple Traps that’s deceiving is the amount of damage they can given given their tame look. Obviously, they don’t have that DAMN! Look at those teeth! (like the Sharkbites do) That double row of triple shredders took way more skin off that even the Bear Traps! The Triple Traps are what gave me that big flat scar ala cheese slicer with chunks of skin on the square block teeth that I discovered when I got home!

Well Vinny, I wouldn’t go so far as to call it racing BMX… more like a bunch of fat, out of shape (myself, very much included) guys in their 40’s and 50’s riding around a track on bikes they could never afford as kids! That jackass that took me out was on a gorgeous Hutch with Bear Traps, super stylie, but no track skills! I’ve almost totally lost interest because it’s turning into losers lunch out there with half the guys are rubes or nubes… I don’t bounce back like I used to… I just hang my head and roll the bike to the truck (cursing all the way)!

Hey man, that’s where it’s at for me, gotta turn the hands of the clock back a bit. No, I’m not talking about some facial cream, I may be from the land of bullsh*t vanity… but I’m no p*ssy! My goal when I turned 40 was to be healthier on my 50th birthday than I was on my 40th. I went nuts up through my mid-30’s until I got married, then decided I needed to be an example to my little one, so I’ve been “improving” ever since. I figured I could pull it off in 10 years, get a little better each year. My pop turned 75 this year and he is going strong! Just after his 70th birthday, he had a mild heart attack and ended up in I.C.U. with tubes coming out of him. At that time he was 5’10” and weighed 239; now he is down to 155 which is the same weight he was in college on the track and baseball team. The doctor told him a few weeks ago that he’d actually like him to be closer to 170 since he was a little thin. I gave me dad my Bowflex so he could put on a few pounds of muscle. I’m thinking that I could pull the same results in the next 7 years and cut loose for my 50th… Christ, that sounds old, especially since I didn’t think I was going to make it past 25!!! Ha… was I ever wrong… now I’ve been domesticated! 🙄

p.s. Yes Vinny, that is senility setting in… sorry…

Becoming old sure isn’t for the weak,I am just glad that while my body is falling apart my mind is still that of a sixteen year old….or is that senility setting in.

Memory is the second thing to go, I forget what the first thing is.

It would seem that the first thing to go is libido… given all the enhancement products these days. I wouldn’t know anything about that but I’ll let you old geezers chime in on this one! 😆

Enhancement products???
Are you talking about things to dress up the walkers and wheelchairs???

I would gladly let her work my brake lever for me…..

Oh man V., you got it all wrong… I was trying to throw you a bone by adding in some salty Florida skanks (nasty beak on the bird on the left plus a butt-chin and a mole on the bird on the right )… you know, trying to sweeten the post for ‘ya so you don’t feel so bad! C’mon, there are no cute asian girls in Florida, we don’t let them outta Californication!!!
