I am 50 now...............been involved in bikes since my old man bought my older brother a royal enfield 500cc, and me and my friends (around 10 years old) used to get up in the middle of the night and grab it, push it up the road, one of us would hold the bike up while the other jumped on the kick start.....then we would go on midnight runs around the neighbourhood.
Got to say that my tastes in motorbikes has evolved and these tastes changes in approx. 5 year periods and has done so for all my life................what was important once no longer matters............what I liked 5 years before has faded away and something new has replaced it..........
So............being different sometimes means being the same.................for me nowadays and with my circumstances............when I look at my bike, it is pleasing to the eye, when I get on it and start it, I feel 20 years old again..........when I ride....................it just becomes a something to enjoy and takes my mind off everthing else around me........when I get home and my back aches and my arze aches.....I just laugh, shake my head, remember the days when I raced and was bullet proof, grab a cold one and put the legs up and smile.........I am happy to be doing this ......still!
So I dont care if my scooter looks the same as someone elses, there will always be something different........to everyone elses............and it will be in my eye!
All the best, Ozzie
