lovely evening. bike ride time methinks

Oh no. What is wrong? Traffic. Here there are lots of bike paths I stick to those but they are also trying to merge bikes to high traffic areas which I think is unsafe.

@Bluedoll MMotorbikes I am on about.

Hiya. Yeah. We try. Been a spate of bikers here killed in the last couple of weeks and it's made enjoying it a bit harder.

@saulgoodman grew a beard every summer when I was younger and then I shaved it off once summer is officially over. My current beard is growing strong at two years and getting to three next February. About the healthier lifestyle, I really need to cut down on my sugar intake which is close to impossible as I have a sweet tooth. Anyway, I'll get there soon enough. 19 years... cheers to both of you! Looking forward to talking to you around the site!

@allen0187 I stopped adding sugar to anything except my porridge. I don't eat it the Scottish way. Yukk

Hello Allen0 I grew a beard one time and my wife said I looked like Santa clause I shaved it off and I think I knocked ten years off with one shave. Been beard free ever since. Wanted to grow another for the last big bike rally we went to but she said no so I didn't. I recently started to embark on a healthier lifestyle and I do feel and see the benefits already. Wish I had done it sooner. Next is to stop smoking. Might be easier said than done so cutting back gradually is the plan. 19 years we have been together now and glad to report that very much looking forward to the next 19 and I believe the healthier lifestyle will keep us on the right track. I look forward to talking to you some more on other posts.

Hello Marlina. I had a spell after a crash where I never looked near a motorbike again. Then when I was 50 I went and got another one. The minute I fired it up and took off I knew I would be back on them big time. I enjoy every journey. What ever the weather. What ever the time of day is. Better still is the fact my wife is the best pillion passenger ever. Middle aged bikers. Great fun. Quality time. Fresh air. Great way to explore.

Oh I would believe you have never been on a motorbike. Most of the ladies in our circle of friends have never been on a motorbike. They think Yvonne my wife is a daredevil biker chick. You did as your mother said. Mum's know best I think. 18 and 22 and still at home. It's hard for kids these days to find places when they are going. Maybe they just know what side their bread is buttered on. It is difficult to adjust. I think anyone who says it's not might be confusing different and difficult. We don't do much apart. We both love the bike. We both enjoy gardening. Her friends are my friends and vice versa. We enjoy each others company I guess. We even follow the same football team!! Work together also. Motorbikes lol. It's great that you do lots of stuff together. Does your hubby like motorbikes? Why don't you both learn? Find a training school and do your CBT. Great day out whilst learning a new skill. Just sayin!!

Hello there. We found life apres teen quite difficult to adjust to for about a year. Then we both really got into bikes and it's been bikes ever since. What are your thoughts 're Do you share your husband's thoughts? Do you are yourself ever being the proverbial biker chick ( tbats how my wife refers to herself).? Bikes are liberating and exciting at the same time and I think rising a big motorbikmotorbike has made me a better more vigilant car driver also.

@saulgoodman I do enjoy a bike ride now and then.However I love exploring and visiting new places.

@jennyjoy aand a motorbike is the best way to do that in my humble opinion

Yep. Back home now Bella and it was an ace ride. It's getting colder now though and I think it's about time to wear the winter gloves again as my thin leather gloves let in the cold a bit tonight. Do you ride?

Peace mode. I must remember that. You are right we all need to spend time in peace mode.
