Pickleball? Fishing? Shuffleboard? Hoops? As senescence creeps there are less and less sports to be enjoyed but if you were your younger self what other sp...

Bravopilot they do, then again, some on the pha look serious about golf. Even the ones who can't win a major (i.e. Rory).

Still playing hockey. And keeping up with grandkids, which sometimes is rougher and more of a workout.

Typhoon Bocce

I've been in a bocce league for 17 years. It's one night a week from spring through fall. We made it to the finals a couple years ago.

An activity that can be played while holding a drink!! The only way to go.

Played sports year round as a kid, baseball and basketball mostly, a few years of football followed by a few years of soccer (talk about a difficult sport to pick up for someone who never touched a soccer ball until 10th grade). Had many accomplishments growing up ran fast, through the ball hard, and could pretty much do it all. After HS I gave up competitive sports, but played rec league basketball, softball, and some sand volleyball (a few years in my 20s playing 2 vs 2...need to be in shape to do this sport = grueling). Finally gave up on all of that mid/late 30's and got into golf. I quite enjoy all aspects of golf and wished I knew now what I didn't then and would have loved being an architect/designer!

I was a competitive swimmer from age 8 through HS and then undergrad college. By the time I graduated, I never wanted to see another pool unless I'm tossing the grandkids around or sipping a margarita.

When I was a teenager I played hockey, tennis and racquetball, then in my twenties I discovered broomball (sort of a combination of hockey but played with shoes on ice with the pace of soccer). I'm now in my 60's so I don't play anymore, but I've been a referee for over 30 years and will probably continue to do so until I can't run anymore. It's a great winter sport, and combined with golf in the summer it keeps me active and in "reasonable" shape. Probably a big reason why I can still walk 18 holes all the time.

I played baseball up until I quit college. Played a shitload of hoops until a knee injury, in 1997, iirc. Played a ton of softball until '06, then strictly golf, until another knee injury in '18. Now I just work and sit at home. Nothing, nada, zero, zilch. Hell, I don't even drank any more (3 months). Just waiting to cash in my chips, I reckon.

Yes sir, down at the Italian* Lodge, we call that aiming oil and by it buy the bucket.

As as German, I'm only allowed to be a "social" member

Pro Motocross. No other sport like it where everyone goes to the first turn at once. Not like pussy sports were they put the fastest drivers/riders up front.

The Red Bike was a air cooled CR125 that was converted to water cooled by Leckich Porting and Tuning. Circa 1980

The white one was a CR250 with a 360 Mugen kit in it. That thing was ALOT of Fun!

Good old days....

I think I miss the Trials bikes most of all.

My Maico hauler:

Bob "Hurricane Hannah" at High Point late 70s.

Some one was jacking him. That's why they are looking towards camera and smiling. Before they ate his roost.

My favorite action photo. And no, I did not lose it.1974 Yamaha YZ 125.

My favorite Maico. 1978 400. 3rd gear hole shots many times. I only weighed 115 lbs back then.

Maico = BEAST😳
I think I told you I had a trail riding buddy with a 501 square barrel Maico.....the largest single cylinder 2 stroke ever built. God it was horrible riding behind him.

Funnest bike to ride that I owned. 1974 Honda CR 125 Elsinore. Tricked out with Redline swing arm, Poppy bodied Koni shocks, DG pipe, DG radial head, DG ported cylinder and bigger carb. Fastest 125 around. Had over 40 motorcycles. You can probably understand why I am broke now.

DG Gold Radial Head, Simon's Forx, custom built FMF Up Pipe and Swing Arm, Fox AirShox, Boysen Reed Valves and ported.

Patterned after Steve Wise Bike...
