    I hope these girls were not part of that girl gang that has been operating in most of the larger Kansas communities. They are stealing motorcycles and selling them in Mexico.

    Well,....I guess if the 2 girls that night are part of the girl gang that have been stealing bikes and then selling them in Mexico.....at least I'll know that the buyer of my bike is going to be pissed from the poor gas mileage I'm getting right now! :0

    I am 60 in a few months and ride a 2009 vfr800. Is is my daily transport and ride daily to work - rain,hail or shine (we don't get snow in Perth, Downunder). Upgraded from a Kwakka zzr600. Incidentally, I bought the zzr from an 81 y/o guy. He was downgrading to a vtr250 as the Kwakiutl was a bit heavy for him!

    I love riding and have no intention of stopping any time soon.

    Recently went for a trip with a couple of young fellas (48 and 52). We covered 3000 km in 3 days in the southwest of Western Australia.

    Reminds me, there is a nationwide girl gang out taking advantage of older men. How it works is, they case out typical men type stores, Lowes, Home Depo, etc... Once they find an older guy leaving the store, heading to there car, 2 young college aged girls come up and ask for a ride to McDonalds or simiular.
    Once in the car the one in the front seat starts to undress and starts hanging all over you while the rear seated passanger steals your wallet! Soon they will want to be let out. Later you will find your wallet is stolen.

    They got me Oct. 4-5, then again Oct 12, 13, 14, I found Walmart sells wallets for .99 each so I stocked up, am planning on hitting Lowes and Home Depo today

    I'm 55 just bought a 99 vfr800 , old is always 15 years older than your age. Or you could just tell her maybe i should get a younger wife. Just remember to have the bike running and facing out the driveway .also it helps to zig-zag as you run makes you harder to hit .

    Old guys

    I hit 68 on 11/17/2012 and still ride a 1984 VF1000F. It's the love of my life. Her picture is listed under fourdorns in First Gen. Gotta a 07 Wing but it's rather vanilla compared to the VF.
    You're never too old to put something exciting between your legs !!!!!

    I'm 47 and have been back on a bike for about 7 years now. Started riding again when the kids were about grown and not wanting me around quite so much, and to get as much good riding/tooling time as I could with my dad (72 and riding a zx1100, and cafe'd 400 kaw), and now I'm rebuilding an 84 vf1000f to go along with my cb350 and 14 Concours.
    I find myself really lucky to be able to spend some great times with my dad riding wherever we want. Definitely the best of riding times.

    I'm 50' on my 2nd VFR after riding dirt since I was a teen. Had a cruiser for a year or so, missed my VFR and the fun of long rides thru the mountain twisty's. Wife doesn't mind, if she wasnt so hot i'd run off with the bike. My two oldest sons ride CBR 600's with me, and think the old man sets a good pace on his old school crotch rocket.

    Save the crate the bike came in. Walk in the room when she's watching tv, and take a measuring tape and just start measuring her from different angles.

    When she asks what you're doing, reply with, "I was thinking about what you said... that I was too old for certain things. You're right. Hold still."
