RED ALERT ALLÂ Â OL COOTS/CODGERS ETC..

[Rev]

No.............. not you :waldorf::ghastly:

You're all gone it's over thrillseekers.....................the G men cometh

According to an article in this week's bike media , crusading pollies in Qld & Vic have been scoping out the motorcycling landscape & have put the cross hairs squarely on certain rider age groups......

These riders are classified as being older returnees........ blokes who have let their bike licences lapse for years & then renew. Basically, they want to limit the type of bikes they can ride. They are also going after older beginners....with capacity/power limits being amongst the proposals.

So if you "qualify".............look out, you might have to sell that beast lurking in the shed, or will they allow "grandfathering on ownership" & no retrospectivity ?   They are also gunning for the thongs, shorts & singlet brigade as well which no doubt many would say is fair enough.
Interesting times we live in

But why is it so Well...it might be about creating our own heat in one way or another.

We even have magazines pontificating about & describing the best way to do rolling wheelies, mono's etc etc...............yeah..all good fun BUT there's a time & place for everything. The same mag then prints a disclaimer to the effect "don't try this shit on public streets" yeah great  BUT that's like posting the instructions for bomb making & then asking the bomb maker to please not make the bomb :2funny:  

I've got my theories but wouldn't claim them as facts, stuff like  blokes pulling circus acts like wheelies, mono's burnouts etc, old coots bumping into stuff coz they don't see good anymore etc etc..  

Ah well I'm safe for the moment, no gaps in my riding history, until the next crusade that is.....& the one after that...


How are you other coots looking
