I'm 50 y.o. and thoroughly enjoy riding my '86 1st Gen. I started riding when I was about 16 on a Honda 250 dirt bike. I went from that to a Kawi 400 twin before I traded it on a new 1980 440 LTD. After a couple of years on the 440 I traded up to a new '82 Yamaha 550 Maxim. I loved that bike and at times wish I still had it, but I was young and had the need for more power so it was traded on a very good used 750 Maxim. I sold this machine in the spring of '87 because I thought the insurance was much too expensive for the small amount I was able to ride.

I was without a bike until 2003 when I bought an '84 1000 Virago, then in the fall of 2006 I obtained the '86 VR I have now. I just realized the vintage of my bikes hasn't changed much, I simply took an 18 year break from riding.

And that my freind is a full time job for you that choose to ride " or Push " those antiques......:duck:

That Yammer Dan can pass a 2nd gen whilst pushing it with 2 bad legs really does not give a 2nd gen something to brag about.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:put your foot in your mouth that time didn't ya :bang head::bang head:

I have proudly cellabrated the 22 aniversery of my 29 birthday.

Or if I have to say it I'm 51, wife is 45. girls 22 and 16

But my delusion is 29, but my oldest says I have to give that up when she gets there.

62 and retired. Good hunting and fishing and riding nearby. And its only an hour to Atlanta when I want big city life.

 

Been riding since I was 17 except for a few brief periods of time.

 

Have my somewhat ideal trio of motorcycles now.

 

Yamaha Tour Deluxe for long rides

Triumph Thunderbird (2001 900cc triple) for short trips

Suzuki 200cc dual-sport for riding the forest service roads and trails.

I am 63. I teach fifth graders and when I have them guess my age I tell them that the two numbers must add up to nine ( 6 + 3). So most of them guess 54 or 45. I can't sell them on 36. :innocent:

Okay, I'll be the first lady to tell her age on here! LOL

 

I'm 58, have two bung legs and riding the Quike is when I feel independent and free, Quickstep is 65 and been married to my trucker for 38 yrs.

I'm 64 now, and Quickstep will be 71 in two weeks. 44 years married. 9 Grandies now. Legs not so good since accident on '07 and use elbow crutches. Ride 2011 H-D Ultra Classic trike, which now has over 76,000 Klm's on the clock. Most of those put on riding her in the U.S.
