Bikerman's Reaperlist
| send message to Bikerman » |
Bikerman's Profile:
I'm Dan and I'm 33 years towards my grave. I'm called "Bikerman!" because I love motorbikes quite simply! I haven't owned one for a number of years due to many back problems, but its time to start living again! I've just bought a Virago XV1100 with my best mate Helen, and we are going to tour the country on it!
Strange phenomenon that when you start to realise you aren't living your life to its full potential, you come to a site that has 'REAPER' in the title... I guess if our own mortality doesn't spark us into action, nothing will!
I actually plan to do all on my list, barring a fatal accident, I will get there!
Have been very inspired by some of the almost full lists on here!!!
To all my fellow Reaper's... may the scythe be a distant vision!
