You have to clarify... do 3 wheels count or does it have to be two?
I'm just asking... not in the running yet.

Looks like the bike in your avatar has a toilet which I guess is a necessity at your age for those long rides!

They say each kid adds five years, so that makes me 65. I will probably never live that long, as my best friend and lovely redhead wife says that I should be called "Frogger".Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.Comment

Yes, three wheels count. I have a sidecar, just don't use it much. I have a four year old son, I should add his age to mine, but in all honesty, I should subtract his four years. He keeps me young. Am I the oldest here?put something smooooth betwen your legs, XS eleven

Not only does Rover ride, he rides spry! When I first met him I would not have guessed his age, still hard to believe. He is absolutely hard to keep up with, on the bike or off.The Old Tamer

Hi Rover,Originally posted by rover View Post
I'm older than you by perhaps a year, but must yield to you in the fatherhood race by over 2 decades. My youngest son (and him a package deal inclusion from my second marriage) is 27. And yes, getting 2 small boys at age 51 sure stops one sliding into middle-aged complacency. You do realize that at your 4 year old's grad you'll be 86?Fred Hill, S'toon

LOL.. I was kinda thinking along those lines also, Fred. As in... seems like he'd be old enough to realize what the heck causes that?!
That being said, if the son is not adopted.. it's pretty impressive! lol. I just hope to make it to your age, let alone worry about the ability to be shooting anything off besides dusty dry-chem looking blanks!

Tkat does not post here because of his internet speed, or lack of it. I KNOW he is still riding on two wheels, the "Road Sofa" and his Bandit being the "normal" rides for now. I think he is in the 72 to 74 year old range, so I guess that will count.
And yeah, a son at 68 is NOT on my list, but some grandchildren once I get up there isn't a bad idea. And I'm 55 and still riding on two wheels.....
