loosebiker Posted November 10, 2009 #101 Posted November 10, 2009 I am 72. We have 5 great grand kids and one the way. Due to arrive in March 2010. I ride a 2000 Venture MM.
Stanman Posted November 10, 2009 #102 Posted November 10, 2009 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.
Jus Monkeyin Around Posted November 10, 2009 #104 Posted November 10, 2009 I'm 41 got my first venture when I was 18 and loved it!!

Silver Bullet Posted November 10, 2009 #108 Posted November 10, 2009 I am 65 and I have two daughters older than me.[43&40]. all though there seems to be some argument about that...I have ridden all most every kind of dirt bike there is & have broken every bone in my body. but I have not broken my spirit. I will ride untill they pry my cold dead hands from the handel bars.
Seawolf Posted November 11, 2009 #109 Posted November 11, 2009 60 for a few more weeks. Been married to my lovely wife for 37 yr. one daughter age 36 one son 34 one grandson age 2 with one on the way this coming Jan. both kids ride and its great to ride with them. My latest ride is an 07 Blue and Black venture which is the most fun i've had on two wheels in a long time and it keeps me young at heart.
LilBeaver Posted November 11, 2009 #110 Posted November 11, 2009 Ok so I will make everyone feel old no matter how old you are. I am turning 27 next week ... HAHA! You don't make me feel old at all my friend
mraf Posted November 11, 2009 #111 Posted November 11, 2009 SO! What are the AGES of the DRIVERS of VR.Org? OLD.:rotfl: Especially the members that have moved over to the Goldwings.
RandyR Posted November 11, 2009 #112 Posted November 11, 2009 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.
LilBeaver Posted November 11, 2009 #113 Posted November 11, 2009 ... Especially the members that have moved over to the Goldwings... Hmmm... So I wonder where that leaves me
petekadish Posted November 11, 2009 #114 Posted November 11, 2009 I'm only 49. So, I hope that's about middle-age! Be Safe! Pete.
bobcat Posted November 12, 2009 #115 Posted November 12, 2009 I guess age is all a matter of perception....I've heard that old age is 15 years older than what you currently are.
cbmel Posted November 12, 2009 #116 Posted November 12, 2009 "1st Gen owners are always older than dirt and cheaper than - - - -" And proud of it! 57 for 4 more hours.
