Was he riding a Blue Firestorm :lol: At the end of the day if one reaches that age then they may as well do whatever the hell they want. Lets face it, one deserves it as a prize for reaching that age and by that time there is nothing to loose.

Al you put me to shame, after complaining about my buzzy fingers, you still Ride a very special Storm. Some of the best bits i have seen on a Storm. White wheels and it would be perfect matey. :lol: However i am still keeping the CBF

Poor Old Bugger. I hope he only gets a smack on the wrist and told not to do it again but I don't think so somehow. :(
Unless it was down the high street, past a school and over a zebra crossing. Then I hope they ban the old Git :evil:

At that age I wouldn't give two hoots, they could take the license away but it's only a bit of paper so stick two fingers up at them and one can still ride. They would have to take my legs and arms away. It would either be that or I'd have a 1000cc mobility scooter. :lol:
