He's been riding since 1927.
There's no "I salute you, sir" smiley.

Wow...good for him! May he rest in peace!

If there are no motorcycles, old engines, or pipe organs in Heaven, I don't want to go.

The pipe organ brings together so many things that I love - music, science, mechanical and electrical devices, and art. Amazing technology, hundreds of years old, and the world's largest instruments, some with over 1,000 horsepower spinning their blowers.

OK, back on topic...

A few years back, my old Boss's Dad was 105 years old and he used to go riding with his "girlfriend"! He was still working 3 days per week at that point. He lived to 107 years old!

Those folks are an inspiration to me, I pray that I can ride until I depart.
