Default You ride a bike;you drive a car

I could not believe when I read the Happy Birthday from this forum to me this morning!! It is indeed my birthday (67) but the wording of the message was what I was upset about. HERE is a very well know MC forum and the message was Happy Birthday, Drive safe. I just don't understand how people who ride don't know when to use the proper words when speaking of motorcycles.

That's all it takes to upset you in your old age? Sounds like it's been a while since you got any. Instead of crying, maybe put a post in the clsssifieds asking for some boner pills so you can get it up again and pick up a chick at bingo. Don't break your hip! Happy bday grandpa!

At least your alive to read the message regardless of how it's worded. It could always be worse.

I got the same birthday wish. I assumed that they took for granted I would be driving my car to the bar to celebrate cause I won't drink and RIDE my bike! You're getting cranky in your old age.

Happy B-day, have a safe ride, a safe drive and don't give anyone the combination to your safe.
