Well there's at least 20 months before I could even consider taking him on, and realistically standing a chance with the advantages of my youth :P
clearly if we were running i can see how your youth would be an advantage............. but we are not, so that rules out that factor.............and then you should never underestimate the cunning and experience that comes with age :D

on the plus side 20 months is a long time and I will have forgotten by then :lol:

Oh you'd win in a running race, I find it so hard to motivate myself for exercise since I got refuse from the Navy on medical grounds :(

But my youth gives me the distinct advantage that I have a nice metabolism and weigh less than a feather, and I don't know fear of high speeds cause I have no sense :D

Exactly, can't win a race if you don't know you're racing. All very sneaky stuff

It's good to have fear when riding that way you stay alive and don't kill the other riders with you .

You can learn a lot from riding with al if you can keep up !

Oh I have a fear of bikes alright! All my friends except one, who hate bikes, love plaguing me with stories of bike accidents :lol: I'm scared of bikes, yes. Very much so, and fine with it. High speeds not so much :S

I used to have no fear until I had my first big accident. It hurts....but now I have slipped back into the old ways but with a little fear and a bit more caution.

sounds like a track day is needed boys:D :D :D .............., there is only so far I will go on the public road before I let the nutters go if I think they are dangerous [to me or themsleves].

Even when I raced I was already old [30], so I would only go bar to bar with people I trusted... a strange combination of self presevation and testosterone that I still have today

Nah, you'd leave me standing on a track. A race through London traffic is more like it. My bike breaths in. :biggrin
