Welcome to the Over 60 Club :-)
I'm well out of practice - a bottle of rum would put me out of action for days - well done :-)

same here Stuart.... 69 in 2 weeks,a six pack slows me for a few days now,a bottle of bourbon/rum would halt forward movement for a month or 2... i know i'm getting soft but dont care anymore.

Haha, I knew exactly what would happen after the first sip of rum .
I don't drink that much these days either.
But I thought screw it, I'll enjoy the day, and pay for it later .
I didn't eat or drink until 3pm the next day, and barely moved 🤢🤢
Only threw up a few times in the morning 🤮😶.
I'll struggle to touch grog for a while now 👍

T4 , 70 is sneaking up there 👍
I managed to do an oil change this afternoon with no pain killers !! ( and the bike on the ground on the sidestand ! )
So all done, new Penrite full Syn, also dumped out the "winter" fuel that was unused for a few months for fresh 95 octane.
I've worked up a thirst - just happens to be a few bottles of Rum staring at me, I was going to wait, but.......
I'm happy the bike is running nicely, so why not ! 🍺🍺

Ya, feeling the age effects. Am currently rebuilding a Sportster, an F100 and a fucked old house I bought, and on the waiting list is another F100, a '46 flathead V8 Ford (and the Triumph that refuses to respond to treatment). I am sadly lacking in riding time . . .

You have a busy schedule there Will, my car day's are done, bikes and old house here, though I'm trying to palm the house off to local builders because it's too much for me, bloody hard to pin down they are.

Having bought the house for cash with the stupid prices nowadays the kitty is practically empty so I have to do the work myself :(

I have a 7 in my age, but I'm a waze off having two 7's
Rum 🤢 I have not touched that since the mid 80's when I had half a bottle at the Bundaberg Aero Club and then drove back to my hotel. Southern Comfort 🤢🤢🤢 I cannot even stand the smell after well over a bottle for my 20th (two young ladies gave me a bottle each for my birthday)
Travelling the world on business saw me drink way way too much, but hey it was good for sales. Saw some incredible places amd made the best friends.
Don't drink much in Oz now as it's too easy to loose a licence. My last big one was a 'management meeting' when three people polished off more than one and half bottles without any food.
My limit is now around 6-8 double shot whiskies and a walk back to my hotel (with or without someone from the bar 😉)
After two marriages I don't own my own home, own a car and bike and some bloody awesome memories. I'm happy, generally healthy and fit and head over to stay with a mate in Laos two or three times a year (I used to live there for a few years). Still working and having fun.....
Infamous 'management meeting'
Very precious bottle of water after a few days of only vodka. By the way that carcass is one of the animals that carries the bubonic plague
Great freinds in Mongolia that I still keep in contact with
