Never Forgotten
I think there are some differences today that were not there 40 years ago.. My parents made me fend for myself.. I actually walked to school, rode my bike to appt's and had to decide for myself when to cross the street.. We rode in the back of pickup trucks after little league while the coach took us to Dairy queen for winning (try that one today)
It certainly was not "careful Johnny, you might stub your toe!, more like "so go clean it out and tape it up dope"
In the last 10-20 years, many kids only know the mini van and if told to walk somewhere, they would not know what a sidewalk is.. I think they lost the ability to 'reason' in some cases.. Self preservation is "first in line at the buffet"
Now it is trauma if their cell phone is not the newest they had to wait on a ride for more than 5 minutes..
is a good thing there are guys like you around still.. I just sit back and hope for "survival of the fittest" anymore![]()
but really, all smartazm aside, I hope you do have some influence on the "clown squad"
I do wish that there was a good alternative to leather myself, especially for every day riding.. I have yet to see a textile pant that really did very well in a crash compared to leather.. (I ride in my work slacks pretty often because leather just is not workable).. All the textile stuff comes apart at the seams or just burns right through..
So what's wrong with arriving at work in leathers
