Pat Riot Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I have always wondered if old people that drive slow were young people that drove slow. I actually asked an old guy that at Rite Aid last year as he exited his car after I had to follow his slow a** into and through the parking lot. He had the strangest response. He told me to do something with myself that’s physically impossible. I told him to make America safe again and buy a freakin’ bus pass.

Your countdown to retirement is actually an indicator of when you can expect to suffer the same indignities of old age as that fellow does. Add in your multiple injuries from cycling, and you are probably looking at a few restrictions on your speed and agility. I truly hope you age more gently, but next time you are behind a grey headed driver, picture them as your own Dad or Grandad, and have a little compassion. Take it more slowly, and you'll have a more harmonius outcome.... LL

I also understand that people should know their limitations and react accordingly when their limitations become a liability, danger or an incumbrance to others.

I guarantee that in a couple of years, when faced with the same issues in your own performance, you will cling to that driver's license like it was a lifeline. Hardest thing my Dad ever did was give up his license...and then only after it was abundantly clear that he could not function. I'm sure that there were a few youngsters behind him during the prior couple of years that were swearing at him for being an "incumbrance". I would respond like your the guy in your post - driving slow is not against the law in most places, and a little courtesy and understanding is DUE to older folks. LL

LL This is not the first time you have presumed to judge me Loophole. Know this. I do not need you telling me how I should think or feel. I am not a pup. I am no relation to you. I am not your student and you are not my mentor. You do not even know me or anything about me in real life. All you know is what you read here and you judge me on that. I seem to have touched a nerve with you. That is not my problem. That is your problem. I highly doubt you will ever be impacted by my actions so take my words as what they are, words. I do apologize if my words have harmed you in any way but I do not take back my words or my opinions. They are mine, just as your words are yours. Continuing this conversation will go no where good, I assure you. I hope you have a good day, Sir. Kind regards

Perro Del Diablo Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Guess Pat will be riding in the cage for awhile

I pretty much wiped out summer riding this year. Back surgery in May now this. By the way, I bought a Sargent seat for my Versys. What a nice seat. I like it.
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 Due to circumstances totally under my control, I will be unable to perform the countdown for the next few days (I'm going camping). So, I hope someone will fill in for me. (Also, feel free to do so anytime). 848 DAYS!!!!
Pat Riot Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Awe Shucks! No one needs to count me down. You go on and enjoy your trip.
