I knew it. I'm old. :cry:

Might as well sell my bike and buy a mobility scooter.

 

I just stumbled onto this thread for the first time, so here's my info. I'm 63....been riding since I was 12 in 1960
.....so I 've been ridin' for 51 years and my '02 VFR is my 24th bike. Don't think I'll ever stop.

 

Wow, this thread is a long one, fits with the # of years up there most of you are :^) ... 58 myself, riding my VFR on the street and my 02 Aprilia at the track ... just moved up to the Intermediate group this weekend at TGP ... when I reach 60 I might think about what I'm doing ... nah, probably not :^) ...

+1 ^^^ Don't give it up until you have to!

 

Just replaced my NTV650 (1995) with VFR800i (1998). Has given me a new lease of life.

Have replaced collector box with S/S & now replacing the rear shock with a 929.

Age 71. Riding since I was 18 & can't get enough.:smile:

 

71 ... ok, that's my new goal, $#%^ 60 ...

Its been 21 years...but I am back on a VFR. I am 44 years old. Bought 1 helmut only.....so this is definately me time. Married with two kids. ....early morning rides then back to being family man!
Lovin this bike.

 

I guess I'm in purgatory 'cause I'm too old to fit in with the young stunt punks. But, I'm definitely not an old fart like most of you viagra popping geezers. 33...:wink:

 

Yeah I'm middle age old. 53. Been riding for more than 40 years. Started on a trail 90. Came back to a Honda automatic. Me thinks the diapers are not to far off.

 

61 and going strong

Picked up my 1200 three months ago after being off the bikes for 25 years. Havin'a ball!:biggrin:

Russ is my new hero!! Love it!

 

I am 42 but i felt 55 ish before looking and finding my 87 vfr now i am feeling 21 again after seeing these bikes in highschool and knowing if I would had one then i would not be on this planet today my wife tells everone I have a new missterss lol all she says as I walk out the door is love ya and be carefull and watch out for the idots as any wife should ( I may keep this one for a bit )

 

61, and loving my 07.

 

Bought my 2002 VFR in March after selling my Ducati 10 years ago , at 55 I'm finally back to my roots being the first street bike I ever bought was a 84 750 Interceptor. Now my wife says I rub on my bike more then I rub on her - Oh well - lifes a bitch then you marry one

 

Would make it a little hard to ride, wouldn't it?

 

Thats sweet, my wife has to get used to the two wheeled mentality. She feels they are deth-machines, I tell her if my mother could accept a motorcycle (mom loves the VFR and feels its a good luck bike and it will take care of me) in the house with her only son, you will get used to it. Maybe down the road, not like I am gona give up riding bikes or fixing em...45 and still a first or second grader, love two wheels!!!

 

I thank my Bro every time we ride for letting me ride his RD400 with chambers and talkin me into buying my first Interceptor, I grew up on dirt bikes , mini trail 50, trail 70, sl100, 125 Elsinore (spelling check) bultaco 125 Sherpa, then my last dirt ride a brand new a 79 RM400. Then the year we bought the bike took a trip with 15 other GPZ's ,RD's, FJ's to Laguna in 84 when Spencer, Roberts ,Shwantz, Bubba, Lawson, Cooley, Baldwin And the MAN RAINEY were the bomb. Boy if I only had a time machine I would re-live those AWESOME days weekly.Boy I fell old

 

Sweet! Was thinking about old FJs a few days ago.

 

Wow, Moms sounds like a sweet lady, anything that makes her son happy makes her happy AWESOME
