In keeping with Moto’s theme about getting softer (or wiser), at what point did you start to consider yourself “old”?
For me, it happened this year after I turned 56. I suddenly considered myself old and realized I would likely die if I actually tried to boat ramp some 30 something like I so often want to do

Felt old when I had to start using a cane to get around due to the worn out joints and bad back around 50 years old. Felt old when I retired at 53 when I retired. But really felt old when I was watching a college football game and the kids looked like they should still be in grade school or high school..
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

May have to give this till tomorrow to get many replies. I’m sure most of the old farts are asleep by now. May have a few replies for those that check the TFF after their 2am piss.

The fact that you still want to boat ramp a 30 something means your not old.

What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

At the age of 73, when I had to have 4 surgeries for various things in a period of about 5 months.
