what would you think when your father has retired, but still, earns quite deal of cash money from consulting. He also likes his motorbikes. He rebuilt a Yamaha 600 that goes okay. Used to have a BMW cruiser. Nice bike really.
But, to my shock and amazement, he has a new bike. Bright yellow, carbon fibre faring, race tyres and open exhaust monster called a Ducati Supersoprt. This fuel injected monstority is a sub 10 sec quater beast of a superbike. It's... just plain wrong. Most men of his age are thinking about the quiet fishing trip, not ripping streets apart on one of these two wheeled rockets
And now he's talking about building a Clubman - the closest thing you can get to an openwheeled race car on the streets. A 500kg car with a 300hp alloy V8.
Talk about grow old disgracefully :D
