How old are you? - Page 5 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

G51000 · 12-11-2007, 01:14 PM

Not quite 72 1/2. I started riding in 1952, started out on a yellow wheeled Mustang.
I have owned and rode bikes for all but 4 years of that time.
Just lucky I guess?

Old enough to know better but young enough to do it anyway.

jprisme, I like your attitude!

I'm 44 (the years do fly by) and I plan to keep riding on into my golden years. How could those years be "golden" if I wasn't riding?

SuzukiBD · 04-22-2008, 09:21 PM

I'll be 43 in July but feel about 30 most days and act like I'm 20.

31, sadly won't get my first bike till sometime next year (hopefully) but it's great to hear so many people started even later than I and got really into it. I always live in fear that I've simply started everything too late in life.

bikerbabe · 07-13-2008, 01:43 PM

I am 33.
