mabeline Posted July 31, 2010 #52 Posted July 31, 2010 Started riding when I was 13, will be 50 next month. Had an 83 VR for a couple of years,bought an 86VR in 87 with 7700 kms for $7000. Sold it in 96 for $6000, bought it back in 98 for $5000. Sold it 08 and bought my 08VR. I guess I like Ventures.

I am 57 Thom
Sylvester Posted August 1, 2010 #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.

Zane Posted August 2, 2010 #68 Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Next month I will be kickin' hell out of 64! Been riding MC's since I was 15 on and off. Mostly HD's. Just got back in the saddle last November on my first Venture, a 90 VR. With any luck I'll ride to the sunset of my life. Edited August 2, 2010 by Zane
