Sometimes older guys, like really older guys, at ice cream stands come over to my bikes and look around them and then start asking questions.

It's usually great fun talking to them. I've had 80 year old ladies say to me "I used to ride with my boy friend when I was young." ...then they give me some big sweet grin, evidently remembering back to the days. I'll always reply, "..and I'm sure you were looking pretty fine on that back of that guys bike!"

I just have fun with it, when I can.
