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

G51000 · 12-11-2007, 12:14 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, 08:21 PM

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

Falcopilot · 04-27-2008, 05:41 PM

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, 12:43 PM

I am 33.
