I'll be 45 the first week in september.Noone ever told me when I was young that I would never grow up,only get older.I think I like it better this way anyway.
Fredintoon and Planedick: I'll never catch ya: I'm only 62, but I've been ridin' since '58!
Old bikers never die, they're just out of sight!
My recently re-built, hopped up '79 Special caught fire and burned everything from the top of the engine up: gas tank, wiring, seat, & melted my windshield all over the front of the bike. Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
I've been riding since 1959.
74 now! 75 this coming November. Still riding daily (as long as the roads are dry). Leaving a week today to do the XS11 PNW 30TH Anniversary Rally.
Did a trip this past May from Vancouver Island down to Infineon Raceway California for the AMA National SuperBike Race.
My 78 XS11 standard is at present retired with a collector plate on it. Have updated to an 06 ZX14 Kawi.
First learned to ride in 1947, been "in the wind" ever since.
Truck on everyone but be safe!!!
