    Growing up in midwest USA, on antenna TV, we received only 5 stations. ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS. We got a repeat of one of the main networks on UHF, although local programming after school and weekends was different.

    We didn't know what we where missing...wait, we weren't missing ANYTHING!

    Apparently, this is the first generation in quite a while with shorter life expectancy than the previous one. I was raised on video games, I even have a Mario Bros tattoo sleeve, but we spent much more time outside than in front of the screen!

    I've been older than every bike I've owned. Same with four-wheeled vehicles (and three-wheeled, for that matter). One of my two motorcycles and my pickup are older than a lot of people I know. I'm younger than a lot of people in this thread, though.

    There are some older-than-me bikes I'd like, but don't yet have the money to do them justice.

    When I tell someone I have two motorcycles, most of the time I get surprise. Woah, TWO! On this forum, though, I feel like a slacker.

    It seems more and more these days that I am the oldest thing around.

    I'm only 42!

    I'm going to start playing Bingo so I can feel young again.
