I met a 92 year old guy at a bike night, about 10 years ago, he was on a 47 Indian, if I recall, he'd owned it since new. He said he put an electric start on it 5 or 6 years previously, as it was getting hard for him to kickstart.

When I wake up each morning I feel like I'm 110 years old. When I get up to walk my knees sound like firecrackers going off. Does that count for anything?

Great motivator. Thinking about going up for that Bordertown BB. Anyone on this tread been there? Going? How does it compare with Atlanticade PEI?
