I was younger once...I mean it's difficult to remember now that I'm 153 years old and virtually fucken ancient...but yeah, I was younger than I am now and that's photographic evidence above...a younger me and one of my bikes.
This picture was taken in 2002 when I was 32 years old.
My girlfriend and I had been for a ride on my Yamaha TRX850 (I loved that fucken bike) and had pulled up for a break - to rest my back that I'd spent the last twelve or so years abusing in my profession - and my girl snapped the image.
Recently, I was looking for a picture taken with a couple mates from when we were out on a ride back around 2003 for the purpose of using on a life picture board for the funeral of one of those guys next week; I spent some time looking through some other photos as often happens.
It made me think about my younger days - who I was, what I did and with who, how I'd developed and shaped my life since, what I looked like and all those other things we think about when contemplating our younger selves. The untimely death of my mate had put me in a contemplative mood but I think it's also good to think and look back and understand where we came from, the journey from then to now.
I wonder about you folks and if you've ever thought back to the younger you and what you feel you've done well or badly and what you could have done differently in the intervening time.
If you want to make a comment feel free to do so below. You don't have to add an image but it would be cool if you do I think. I'm away for work for the next several days but I'll still be looking and will drop some votes of course...if I don't do long-ass replies I think you'll understand though right?
