Are there any of you 50 plus boys out there still rideing.:

**Clint** · 11-06-2007, 06:51 AM

I think you'll find we have quite a few older members. Check out the poll in the polls forum.

dcstrng · 11-06-2007, 07:31 AM

Yes, there are some... but the info is classified, and then...

Well, you know how this ends up...

KD57 · 11-06-2007, 08:11 AM

Let's just say I eat at Mc D's pretty cheap.

Thundurburd · 11-06-2007, 08:31 AM

According to the M-J poll I'm in the 53 to 65 group, and I'm not still riding, I'm new to motorcycling. I don't count the little 50cc bike I rode when I was a teenager.

baltimorebayside · 11-06-2007, 08:32 AM

Yea...sure!! I'm 52 and just purchased a 1992 750 Nighthawk this past May. Haven't been on a bike in about 17 years. This is my 6th or
7th motorcycle. I'm a lot more cautious now and just cruise around 45 - 55 mph on the country roads.

Uncle B · 11-07-2007, 07:50 PM

metric sprocket · 11-08-2007, 09:48 PM

I,m 64 and still enjoy dirt @ street,will be around Foley Alabama untill next april if any one is out.ron

Thundurburd · 11-08-2007, 11:02 PM

I've gone thru Foley many times during the last 15 years on our way down to Golf Shores or Orange Beach. We always do this in March but I'm not sure I can make it this year due to a business trip coming up. I have been thinking about trailering my bike (it's about an 18 hour drive) the next time I go there anyways. It will be a wait and see situation but this could be a possibility.

Mydlyfkryzis · 11-10-2007, 10:20 PM

53 in 2 weeks.

Mentally still 12.

4dtvman · 11-11-2007, 06:31 AM

51 and going out today for a ride.

Every time I hear this. I remember last year I meet this older couple man 75 women 74 on a Suzuki bushman 650 that we talked to and he told me that he switched over to the suzuki from a HD because he could shift that well any more and then he showed me his handy cap plates. That old and still riding.

cms58 · 11-12-2007, 03:22 PM

I'm 50, just the body is old. Been 23 years since I owned a street machine. Rode off road till my 1975 MX125C wore out. Started riding again this April, Bought a Kawasaki Ninja 250, then bought a slightly larger cycle. I fell 18 again on two wheels. Just the body might be old.
