Impressed

[devo]

Went for a bit of a ride today and was at the gas station filling up when I hear a voice say," so, how do ya find it ?".
I look up to see an old boy(must be deep in his 70s) pointing at my bike.
"I luv it " I reply,"runs like a charm. So what do you ride ?" I ask noticing his Triumph T shirt.
He " I got a T100 and live in Palmerston North ( about a 100k north of me).
Me "cool, are you happy with it ?"
He " just rode 2760 ks down to the Burt Monroe rally and back." (The Burt Monroe Rally is an annual event held in Invercargill at the bottom of the south Island )
Me " F--k,..goodonyer mate" as I shook his hand. :worthy:

Don't sell those old boys "deep in his seventies" short. They still have many roads to ride.
Not that I would know anything about that of course

If you're in a bit of a hurry and some old dude asks :"Mmm Triumph, who makes them these days?", just reply "Honda" and ride off.

That is 1715 miles - a very healthy ride, especially on a Bonneville. I, too, am impressed.
