It is a 1966, Dio s 4 speed , I have added a Bushman sump guard, it will be my ride in this years Beamish Trophy Trial ( I will never learn ) in 1966 I had as one of my first bikes a D7, so it is fitting that this should be my last, I had all sorts over the years including a BMW R80 cafe racer with open pipes & a Guzzi 850 Californian, but that was then!

Having passed that milestone a few years ago here are a few golden rules for the over 70s some of them courtesy of Billy Connely.

 

(1) never risk breaking wind

(2) never miss an opportunity to urinate

(3) never waste an erection even if you are on your own

 

Oh and never mistake the pile ointment for the denture adhesive. The former tastes ghastly and the latter sticks your cheeks together.

 

Have a good one and remember you can still plough as deep a furrow but dont try to go as many rounds as you did 30 years ago.

 

Have a good one. :yes:
