He is still a pup. Now, if he makes it to my age (63 1/2) and still be tall, dark and handsome, ride like the wind and make love all night long, just like me. Then that will be something to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Bill, may God continue to bless you.

It's good to hit the HALF CENTURY mark, doesn't mean you're old, it means you're antique, just ask any teen. Oh, Howdy Doody says Happy Birthday too.

Happy birthday you young whippersnapper -

I'm still hoping to ride with you again - I'm in Idaho for a project now, and have been playing in the desert southwest of Boise (still on KTMs) - it's a little more wide open than Brock Creek.

Bill, I can almost remember my 50th birthday. It's all downhill from there so look at it as a way to improve your gas mileage.

I know your lovely wife and son won't let this day go unnoticed.

WOW! Thanks guys.

Actually I still feel pretty good, Taking repoe3's advice and getting on a bicycle a couple years ago really changed the way I feel. Still going like I was 25.

Nice to be part of a great group of guys like we have here. Look forward to meeting more of you and seeing the ones I have already met again.
