This is the guy who's father made the T in KTM. Moral of the story - It's safer to ride than to run stupid distances... And - why run when you can ride?
65 doing a half marathon...bloody hell..you gotta know when to give up...i guess he does now...
at 65 i'll have my Pan Euroamericafrican and will tour the world with the Mrs) Africa will be empty then, cos they would have all died from Aids...might be a tad smelly though!!!
must get a new Oxford traffic mask!!!
Just shows what happens when you try to stay fit and active
