    Scanning some old photos today so I thought I'd share a few.


    Look at that, only 90 miles on the clock.

    And here's a couple completely unrelated pictures. I used to make model rockets and I always thought these turned out neat. :)

    Since the riding season's over I can only look at old pictures and wish I could time travel. :wink:

    Time's a relentlous bitc! Especially when you realize you can't go back cause it's just plain gone. Sucks!

    Sometimes I think my head plays tricks too, cause I think if I could go back it wouldn't be as SWEET as I remember it being. Oh well BE HERE NOW.

    Nice photos by the way - need for speed eh?

    I reminisce more as I get older. It seems like the good old days but then sometimes I think it was just different days and at the time they were often nothing special. In hindsight they are special but at the moment they were not so if we live now and get depressed just think these days will be some that we look upon fondly in the future.

    I am 56 and since I hit the half century mark my mind wanders back to yonder days more.
