to suddenly decide they are "rowdy biker types". There are some humorous moments to be had observing them, though. They climb off their steeds with obviously aching backs and walking as if they had been riding horses all day. Sometimes they take their "biker babes" with them. They are usually at an age and physique that they have noooooo business wearing scimpy tank tops.Oh well, it is never too late to be the child you always wanted to be, is it?
