just kidding... it's good to hear though that age doesn't stop riding. but i wonder, any older people here still ride sportsbikes? the real ones, the ones 600cc and above race replicas.

i know sapaul rides a K1200S, but it's more of a sport touring bike.

I think kid leashes are a good sign that the parent is not able to give their child the attention they need to grow up healthily. Children are not dogs - this is my opinion here, so moving on-

I don't know if I'd ever take a small kid out riding very much, but strapping him on may be a good idea. Just be careful!

UM, how come you put me and the old statement on the same page, I am 44, bigger, stronger, faster and more experianced than you. I have a great woman, get regular great sex, have generally a great life, you know all the things that you have yet to acheive. And you have the audacity to call me old.

Just kidding, I am ragging on you a bit for the old thing
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S

Don't forget it's not what you ride, but the fact that you do ride.

Or failing that HOW you ride.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I just turned 40 and I ride the classic Eddie Lawson bike, the ZRX1200R. I like to think I'm still pretty young though.
