Hey Snow, Stralya is right and also when you have all that gear on it is way easier in the event of a regulator failure to reach low behind you to turn the valve on and off to breath your way out. We practice that proceedure on a regular basis

I've had a full beard, no beard, Amish beard (full beard, no mustash,) mustash, and goatee. I now sport "mutton chops:" i.e., mustach and sideburns without the beard. Sort of the opposite of a goatee. I've settled on this style because I have a rather long and gaunt face otherwise!

Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!
My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
I've been riding since 1959.
Wow! No idea what happened there! I have a new dsl service with Comcast: maybe that has something to do with it.
So you can dock me for a dozen post, Ken.
P.S. Lets see if it happens again.

I have always had some kind of facial hair when I could grow it. Sideburns were always a challenge . When I could grow a full beard it was better. Had some deadly biker goats when younger. Mostly had the full beard and sorta long . I always trimmed gray and through the years ended up with less beard . I've shaved it all off once or twice but it made my daughter cry as she couldnt recognize me . So... now that I've joined the Old Bastards M.C. , I try to look accordingly and let it all hang out .

Axel, is that the "Crippled Old Biker Bastards," or another old biker bastard club with which I am not familiar?* Just wondering: I just might qualify.

Hey Axel....
How far from the 'Old Bastards' home base are you? I was beginning to think that you were south of the border projecting a residence in the 'Great White North'! After all, Ontario Canada is such a small place... merely a speck on the world map.
