bryan52577 Posted August 1, 2010 Share #62 Posted August 1, 2010 Started riding minibikes in 1964, at the ripe old age of 6. Had at least one bike at any given time, for the last 46 years. So I guess that puts me at 52! Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted August 1, 2010 Share #64 Posted August 1, 2010 Sixty four last April, began riding doodle bugs in 1957 and bought a Cushman open console in 1959 (don't tell my mother). I have been riding ever since with no more than 4-6 months without a bike at the most. Bought my '02 RSMV new in 2001 and have over 130,000 miles on it without issue until now. My CB won't turn on.
