The 3 Ms: Motorcycles, Marathons, and Mistresses

The rite of passage for every 40 YO male.

Motorcycles? No problem. Marathons? 3 in one year. Mistresses?

Gettting old sucks. Especially when external factors contribute to it.

One thing they forget to tell you is that if you are going to get old, you are going to attend a lot of funerals. Was at one this past weekend for a good friend. She died far too young.

Enjoy life, it ends far too quickly...

The wife said "no" to all three.

1. "you'll kill yourself"
2. "you'll hurt your knees"
3. "I'll hurt you".

Oh well, I still have the 911.

Not just yeah but HE11 YEAH!

1. Love motorcycles, gave them up ten years ago for the 944, gave the 944 up this year for the Miata... thought about getting a cheap motorcycle to commute to work but my wife and the folks here talked me out of it.

2. Marathons, I get winded walking up the stairs.

3. Mistresses, see #2
