Title: How long can I keep this up?
Post by zipidachimp on 02/04/18 at 15:44:36

74 today! working on 75. My goal is to outlast late British actor Sir Ralph Richardson, who kept riding his BMW R75 until his last days.

Another month or so until it's warm enough to insure one of my bikes.
cheers! 8-)

I mostly remember Sir Ralph Richardson as the delightfully chilling villain Francis Urquhart. I did not know Sir Ralph was an avid motorcyclist.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope you will outlast Sir Ralph by many years! :)

One year MM and I met a fellow at the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground that was in his 80's (IIRC). He was still riding, staying in a tent, and he had some PVC tubes on the side of his bike where he stored his bottled beer!

Zippy, the obvious takeaway is
You need to get some Pvc pipe.
