Is motorcycling becoming an Old Man's Thing?

"fair cop"

 

Is that you Vass?

 

blonde, shirely?

 

Or usenet.

 

I'm not statistically significant but 39, SO was 36. Her closest friends
pupped at around the same age, another 4.

 

The majority of DAS work I do is with people in the 30 to 50 age group. 21
to 30 is under represented, but the candidates are keen to get their
licences and learn to ride, not just pass a test. 50+ tend toward those who
want to potter around with the missus on the back now the kids have fucked
off.

Most teens just want a CBT so they can annoy on the rev'n'rip class, but
those who want the full licence really want it, and by 'eck they work hard
to get it.


There are new riders coming through, and thanks to the hoops they have to
jump through, they will (mostly) be lifetimers.

OK, that is one very small sample, but it may provide a glimmer of hope.

Don't knock getting drunk and hitting people with sticks!.

Ah. Thanks.

 

If her name was Shirley and she was une gendarme?

 

I couldn't say, I've never met your daughter's mother.

My eldest[1] daughter's mother had been in a fairly stable relationship
with me for coming up for 8 years when we split. I didn't know she was
pregnant at the time.

[1] My only natural child[2]
[2] The rest were inherited.

This

"the UK the highest in Euroupe for teenage pregnancies"

and

"Hardly anyone has kids before they're 30 nowadays."

Cant possibly both be true though?

Apart from Champ's statement being wrong, as he conceded earlier, in
principle there's no reason that they must be mutually exclusive.

 

Theoretically, yes, but the figures are nothing like that.

"A total of 41,325 women under 18 fell pregnant in 2008"

And that them *falling*!
