hey pete I am the same age as u. ill be 28 in feb .

I'm rocking 23.

It feels good to still be able to do a 5 minute mile, heal fast and most importantly never show up to vote. Oh to be young and not care what the goverments going to do about Medicare

Not old....just "distinguished".

63 isn't bad... just ask GSJack! (or runsilent as he is refered to now).

I plan to ride well into my 60s.. I figure by that time, I can afford a nice BMW and enjoy retirement (which I plan to take by age 40).

Well, I'm rocking 22 (soon to be 23)... I could never to a 5 minute mile (I think 8 was my best), but I did run olympic qualifying times for the 200 yrd dash (was always just a little too slow for the 100). But I can't do that anymore anyway... hmmm.. I don't think I heal so fast anymore either.

I still wreck the younger guys in volleyball though, I guess that can be my cling to my slowly passing youth.

Slowly passing youth?????

You are a youth at 22. Have you ever noticed that the government has these job creation programs for "youths". Ages 15 to 30.

Next thing you know, you'll be changing your name to grampa.

Ha ha. Not different directions. Same direction, different speeds is all

In fact we're all heading THAT direction. I remember when I was young (I think). I always believed that I'd die before I got to my current age but here I am. Now I don't know what to do about it so I figure to keep on riding till something comes up that stops me

Having started 2 years ago at 48, I figure I gotta ride at least until my 80's to get my money's worth out of that MSF class!!! Of course I might be on a Silverwing scooter by then, but it's still two wheels, so it's still riding in my book!

i am 63 with over 200,000 miles.every one of them alone.
you dont need anybody to ride with you.

If i ever get mt V Star 650, i'll ride w/ya.
I'd like to take trips to Buffalo NY to see some friends and since i fly there often, figure, when i get my MC, i'll be able to ride there and swing on by Ohio!

Ohh 1 note, went to Ohio when i moved from LA to Chicago back in 97.
The 1 thing i noticed was in Columbus, it seemed that around midnight, everyone was outside making out next to thier cars! This has nothing to do w/ MC riding, but oddly enough, it was something that i never forgot!

I read above that one of you youngsters plans on riding into your 60's? I've been riding since I was 8, and am now almost (1 year short of) a half century in. I plan to ride until I have to have someone put me on the trike, or a bike with a hack. 60's just around the corner, and I have no plans to quit.

So, don't limit yourself by age. As a matter of fact, don't limit yourself, ever.
