A bunch of old gits still riding bikes when they're ancient and falling to bits (and the bikes), Sounds like the bike club I go to. Those chinese bikes don't seem to have changed much in 50+ years though. Who knew they even made bikes then!

Great video papasmurf and thanks for uploading. When I ride my motorcycle I feel young again. On my motorcycle I am that crazy young man again burning up the highways and shouting into the wind. I ride there for I am.

I have seen that vid a few times and it always makes me realise why I do what I do.
This past Sunday I got all dressed up and rode the Flash & a Box in the Derbyshire Distinguished Gentlemans Ride, because of the health shyte it was thought that I would be safer riding 3 wheels rather than Enfield with only two!

Its still the case that in Asia a lot of people ride bikes because they cannot afford cars but judging by the response on here still an effective advert
