My Rig May Be Old

But That Don't Mean She's Slow *

Now, Mr. English, is that the name of your bike or the name of a type of bike? (Regardless, it's O' so British!) Sounds like a big ol' thing being compared to SUVs.
Re: US driving license requirements, it goes like this. If you are over 15 1/5 but under 18, you take a written test to get your "Learner's" permit. This allows you to toodle around with an adult of 21 or over in the car with you. After six months of driving and 50 hours behind the wheel, you can then get your "Restricted" license. This allows you to drive by yourself, only one other teen in the car, no cell phone and not after 10 p.m. (These are all Tenneesee laws, btw. I believe most states are the same, but I'm not sure.) At 18, he gets his "unrestricted" license and is off into the world of adulthood. Joy.
Now back to Mr. Butler, you need to give us a picture of one such broken in bike!

A classic make of bike, originally hand-made by the eponymous Mr Butler. Our sheds may have names but I have not taken the same approach with the bikes. However it's a thought! Busy weekend so I will do you a photo and bike resume when I can. Mary and I have seven and a half bikes between us!
