This is just a place holder for when I post here in just under 14 years.
Enjoy the wait!

So 65+----That means you were born before 43 and the yanks joined the war. So if you can remember the war- your in.
That puts me out- I can't remember yesterday.

Ok, now it's 2021, so 65 yo means the birthday threshold is 1956. So this thread is not for 1956 and earlier birthdays.
And in the words of Bluesdawg in this thread back in 2008, "Since when have we boomers done what older people told us to do? "

Hey, it's exactly like when the little kids want to ride in the back of my school bus, I tell them "Your day will come."

Is this the grown ups clubhouse?
Finally, we can get away from those dang kids and all their monkeyshines. You ever see how they act, some of 'em? Disgraceful, I tell you, downright disgraceful. And that music...ever hear that music they play? Gives me a headache whenever I hear it. They oughta outlaw it, it ain't fit for decent folks.
Now maybe we can get some good music around here, maybe some Perry Como or some Lawrence Welk...some REAL music, for a change.

Ok if no other qualifications I at least meet the age at 66 LOL Not only that just starting out bike riding also. Already a slight case of road rash thinking I was still 15 on a bike.

If you old guys only post here, then we young guys won't be able to benefit from your "wisdom" without lurking, and that seems so dishonest, somehow.

By now we should all know how this works: If you start a thread that's only for 65+, you will have all the young whipper-snappers posting. We're old enough to be contrarians, after all...
