59, Spec SL, 10.000km, second motor and battery, Nova Lima, Brazil, will probably buy a full one, difficult to keep up with my friends all with big motors.
Super morzine road gap. First visit since 2019. I had never done this previously, so pleased to get it ticked off last year.
Age 54.
On my Nicolai DH bike here but I did do it on my kenevo afterwards.

That front mudguard is as much use as a chocolate fireguard

Just along the road in Nunthorpe.
That thing was useless. Don’t even use a front fender anymore. In fact, I needed a little paint repair because of the mounting.That front mudguard is as much use as a chocolate fireguard
I have a shorty for the rear. Mostly to protect the main pivot.

It's been quite a year so far. I had triple bypass surgery in January. Just a little minor surgery. It was a shock to everybody, I'm the healthy one. The doc told me it can be hereditary. My dad had a heart attack at 62. My dad was the same, super healthy. He blamed my mom for feeding him meat. I haven't eaten meat for 8 years. It wasn't a big heart attack, like open the pearly gates I'm coming. My BP was high (180/89) so my wife and I drove to the hospital. There i stayed for the next 13 days.
I've been back on the bike for a few months now. It always feels so good to be out there, but now it's extra special. Plus now I got a big gnarly scar on my chest. Chick's dig scars, right?

Glad you got that sorted. I also have what looks like an open heart op scar on my chest ....160mm ..but that was a BCC (skin cancer) cut out in January this year. Like you I am healthy ( albeit a bit ancient) and fit and it appeared out of nowhere. I don't blame my diet or sun exposure (I'm in the UK !). Fit sports people of all ages have been hit with a variety of unexpected health issues.....I know what I blame...and its not red meat!!It's been quite a year so far.
