Age....give it up...If you wish to

[BlueJ]

Yeah I think it's an airport. It's also a movie I think, but I've never seen it because I was pretty young when it came out.

I thought it meant Just Fucking Kidding.

 

[Goin-Commando]

I was about 4 blocks away and just over 1 month old when JFK died, so yeah I wouldn't remember...

Got my first bike when I was 16 and never been without at least 1 ever since.
Unless you were just down right broke and needed to feed your childeren, I don't see a reason that anyone would ever want to be without one.

LMT, have you calculated the average age yet?

(I was also a little surprised to see so many owners in the 20's..)

 

[Ohio TT]

Also had a Bultaco (pursang tt). No way could you hold the front down when you dumped the clutch. Sold it to a friend who claimed he could-week later he had a broken leg. Liked the clip ons, saved some ribs. On occasions would go backwards-wtf-could never figure that out.

[yellowrubiu]

42 and fairly green at this, my Bonnie is my first ride.

 

[justmadeup]

54, missing a lot of hair but still have my drivers license and prostate.
couple of street legal dirt bikes 30 plus years ago. Had a thing for British bikes since I was a kid. Just got my first, a T-100, last month.

 

[Oil Burner]

36 here; I think younger, and feel older. I guess it all averages out in the end.

MC endorsement on my license in '97 or '98. A couple Kawasakis, and then the Scrambler. This one's a keeper.

 

[Kirkus51]

HA! My M/C endorsement has been Grandfathered in since 1965. Go figure.

 

[slowgator]

Six-Oh. Like Ohio TT, started out on a Honda CB 160 at 16. First Bonny a '70 T120R, burgundy and silver beauty bought in England while in the Navy and delivered to hometown Detroit.

Yeah, in my club we have a bloke that's in his 80's and rides a BMW R90s to events all over east coast Australia and that's a big place doing big miles. He often just stops when it gets dark and sleeps beside the BM on the side of the road, tough old coot.

 

[Ohio TT]

I've had my MC endorsement going on 41 years if I remember correctly(and that's a large assumption). I got it as soon as Ohio started requiring it, which I think was 1969.
