Couple of personal milestones today 10/14/14

Just hit 90,000 miles on the '04 today on the way home from work....where I just hit 30 years working at the same job!

Fuck me, I'm getting OLD! But Frankenbike helps keep me young!

Very coolio, Howie!

It takes courage to grow old, yes?

I concur Howie, Congrats ! and dont we know it brother carver ?!!!

Congratulations! Two cool milestones. And we all have to grow old, but we don't necessarily have to grow up.

RadioOwie is one of the very coolest posters on this form.

I have said it before, and I say it again. I got to meet this rider.

Growing old is not for sissies.

Congratulations Steve-O, you cranky and ugly Old Bastard! jes' sayin' and nuff said, aye!

dcarver PS: I met RadioHowie in person once - it ranks right there with a root canal/colonoscopy, or when my ex-wife served me with eviction papers on my California home! JSNS!

Don't forget heart disease bugger it all !!!

Thanks for reminding me Gazza, I had my heart attack on 10/8/2005 and it was a doozy. RadioHowie is so damned lucky, the crusty old reprobate doesn't have a heart! JSNS!

Or to put it another way - everyone has to die but not everyone lives............

Well done on both your milestones.

Can't compete with either one, I've only done just on 60,000 total on my three FJRs (starting in '06), and 26 years (plus 5 years part time) with my last employer, but a total of 43 years doing the same job. (No, not boring, anything but.)

I'm pretty sure riding motorcycles keeps the mind juvenile.

Or maybe it's having a juvenile mind keeps us riding motorcycles?

Whatever, keep taking the tablets .

Congrats, Howie. Don't worry about getting old. It's happening to all of us. Keep twisting that throttle.

R/H - much congrats on your accomplishments. Forgive me, but your post simply begs the question regarding both milestones ....

What's next?

majicmaker said that RadioHowie is going to try sex with a woman, for a change! JSNS!

Yes, Howie. Congratulations and what is next? Retirement and traveling the country on a new Gen3?

Or you might be like me. As long as Mrs. Redfish is here I will have to work until after I die.

Congrats! I read somewhere that if you haven't grown up by age 50 then you don't have to! It was on the internet, so it has to be true. After all, there are quite a few of us that are living proof!

Congrats on the 90K and 30yrs, Howie.

Congrats Howie. Hell, I won't even say anything disparaging about you. I haven't hit 90k on my motorcycle or worked the same job for 30 years like you, but you're old enough to be my dad, so...

Haha...Did they at least throw you a party?

Congratz on the mile(Kidney?)stones Howie! Did ya buy the bike new in '04? Don't I recall a thread where ya swapped out motors or something?
