I'm 57 and been riding since long, long ago, rode a bike to high school if that gives you any idea. Had my 2000 MM for about 6 months, sold a Harley to get it and plan on riding it for a long time yet.:big-grin-emoticon:

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!

The 1st was a Honda 90 , 30 bucks when i was 14 , many moons ago , used to put it in my 51 ply. take to the top of a hill and let it roll down to get it started . when i turned 16 i traded it and 1600 bucks for a 900 sporty , less than a hour later , totaled the sporty ! 1 of the push rods came off and my leg was in the way . the dealer payed the med bills and gave me a used fatbob . i got the venture feb 2007 . this 1st gen is the hardest and funnest bike i have ever rode !

I am 57

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. :95:

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.
