UP pics

Thanks again, Jerry-those U.P. pics are nice. The wife's been wanting to get to Copper Harbor the last couple of years as we haven't been past Houghton/Hancock together yet. You must have a taste for history as I've noticed you take pictures of written descriptions at various places-something I always enjoy about new places.

Thanks for the kind words about my galleries. The scenery is one of the reasons I live where I do; I enjoy getting out on my bike, ATV, and snowmobile.

Just a note...over the weekend I added a new XS11 gallery, photos from last year's Lost in Da UP rally hosted by Eric The Red and based out of Houghton, Michigan. Near the end are a couple of old airplane photos I took on my way back at the Iowa Aviation Museum. You can get there from my Galleries page (link in signature) or the direct link is:

Since we always think.in terms.of age we all are "old"...some more than others so it is relative...

...Says the old man.

Funny, young guys never say things like this...

Us old folks will have to be careful about hijacking this thread into a MUSIC appreciation thread!

Old is a state of mind although my body may disagree with that.
Some years ago I got a deal on tickets to see the Stones at the Oakland Coliseum.
Seeing how those guys looked ”up close and personal”..... made me feel my years.
I mostly like rock but one of my all time favorites

My '76 Scout II is sitting in my yard awaiting further work. I parked it when I bought the F-150, SWMBO didn't want to keep insurance on it other than comprehensive. I start it about once a month and drive it around the block.

A couple of high school kids came by one day and asked me what the Scout was..... Made me feel old.

nice picture gallery spent some time looking,,like the scout...also beautiful country!!!!!

61 next month. Old stuff? Still have 75 Dodge W200 I bought new. And functioning dwell meter and timing light! Remember brake cylinder hones and that flexy thing with the allan head for adjusting points? I still have the cassette player that came with my 80g

55 here. I work with 20-30 yr olds, they all listen to our music.

I was 63 on my last birthday. Been riding since '74 when my first road-legal bike was a Honda 90. (!) Had a Harley 45 before that but somehow it never became licensed, was in pretty poor condition when I got it and I sold it a few years later to help pay college costs.

And yes, I remember Sam the Sham and Little Red Riding Hood. With 2 older sisters who liked popular music I lived through the British Invasion including Herman's Hermits and late folk music like The Kingston Trio. There was a lot of good music out of the late '60s and into the '70s. It is always funny to me how many TV ads use this era's music as background, even some new covers of the old stuff.

This is going around the internet:

People born in the 50's have lived in seven decades, two centuries, and two millenniums. We had the best music, fastest cars, drive-in theaters, soda fountains, and happy days. And we are not even that old yet. We're just that cool.

plus one 1955 for me...hate to see this thread go ////

58, be 59 in April.

18 /19 with 40 yrs experience lol. Still have my old gear, running it in my office now. It's my form of time travel. Had to replace some of my albums over the years, just wore em out.

Sansui 8080 ('76), Dual 1246, '75), AR-4's ('69), actually TopCat's R2R would go nicely with this setup, but the last thing I need is something else to restore.
