Never Underestimate a Senior

An old man was eating in a truck stop when three bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spit into the old man's milk and then he took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Onlookers were completely shocked at the men's behavior, but the old man didn't seem to be fazed in the slightest. Without a word of protest, he quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."

Being a motorcycle rider I have heard this one before. It always brings a smile to my face ☺️
 
So it's a mean machine with a loud throaty noise, is it?
You obviously love it and look after it well.
Yes it can be loud 98db at idle with the current pipes and yes I have had it since 2009 after I was t boned on my then Kawasaki GTR 1000. They always say when you get knocked off a horse you get right back on and go riding again. I feel it is the same way with motorcycles 🏍 I always intend to be still riding into my 80s like the couple I saw whilst I was in Darwin he was 88 and she was 86 riding a BMW towing a camping 🏕 trailer.

You have something to aspire to, then.
Well done!
98db is rather loud, maybe it's your machine I hear in the distance, ridden by a rider who enjoys the thrill.
My claim to fame is the best female billy cart rider in the suburb.
I just loved the wind blowing thru my hair going downhill at the rate of knots.
I have also driven an S-Type Jaguar at 103 miles/hour....that was an experience.
Oh, I also loved body surfing at Portsea Back Beach (where Prince Minister Harold Holt drowned), in Victoria.
