    Hello
    after 2 failed tests and 25 years I have just re-trained, passed my test and re-launched my biking journey!
    Well into the mid-life crisis now so why not i thought - no time like the present.
    Here is my new bike - 65 reg T100 -which I bought a couple of weeks ago.

    Tell me more about 'mid life crisis'. Having qualified for the state pension, am I now too old for one?:( Did I miss something?:( Would I have enjoyed it?:confused:
    OR, did I just lurch from one crisis to the next and thereby manage to miss it completely whilst utter carnage was going on all around me and Chateau Goolie?:eek::oops:
    I should be informed!! (Or sectioned!!:p:p:D)

    Hi and welcome...

    I still wait for adolescence, guess I am still in birth-trauma and don't know about midlife crises.
    But I bought a couple of bikes as yet and I can tell you, it is the best medicine short of having red wine and linguine with truffels on a high cliff on Madeira :cool:
    (Weisswurst in Bad Tölz does the job too :D )

    Have a good time here :)

    You're absolutely right Winglad, I had an absence from biking for 30 years and cannot believe how much I am enjoying riding the bike, It has to be exceptionally bad weather to keep me from using it daily.
    Big smile every time I am on it, smiling and laughter is the best tonic of all in my book.
