Just found this site,Great. Been at this biking thing for 59 yrs. and can't seem to quit. Just got me a 01 Suzuki Bandit 1200S for my birthday( 72 ). What a bike,makes me feel like 20 again. Hope to make some bike pals on the site. Have a great day everyone Ed.

What bikes did you own before the Bandit?

Wow, Ed. You have been biking longer than I've been around.

to the site.

I guess it will be a few more months before biking season starts there. A tad chilly right now?

By the way.....we love pictures. How about posting a pic of your new bike?

Makes you feel like you're 20 again eh? Proves what I been thinking, motorbikes are better for a bloke then stalagmite.

What was your first bike?

Never had to use stalagmite yet,bikes seem to work for me. My first bike was a 1949 James 125cc made in England,the other 100 or so included AJS 500,Triumph 500,750,350,125 .BSA 650,500. Norton 500. Royal Enfield 350, 500. Harleys 2. At least 10 Honda 750. Suzuki 550,750,850,1100,1200. Best touring bike was a Yamaha 1100 Maxim, loved that bike. Forgotten a few . Enjoyed every one of them. Ed

Welcome Ed, great to have another biker here in their 8th decade of life. I've been driving as long as you've been riding, but I got a late start riding at age 52. Just 23 years and 360k miles on 6 bikes so far and still feel like 19 again when I'm riding.

A friend of mine just got his learner's permit and signed up for motorcycle classes. He is 62.
I hope had as much success and fun as you do.

Just goes to show Biking Keeps You Young At Heart. Sure have enjoyed my 59 yrs. of fun. Wish the season was longer. Ed.

Come over to Texas.

Been thinking of some travels South,then the tornados hit . All we get up here is snow and cold,no real crazy weather. Would make a good summer trip down to Texas. Keep your eyes open for a Black Suzuki Bandit, might be me
