FuzzyRSTD Posted October 24, 2012 #26 Posted October 24, 2012 Forty nine here and counting. Is twenty to young ? Why no, you got the bike of a lifetime. Enjoy it until you are also forty nine. Fuzzy
hog Posted October 24, 2012 #28 Posted October 24, 2012 Age is only a number.There are days I feel 20 again then days I feel 80.But what is most amazing to me is when I get to go have my therapy by throwing my leg over my bike and starting it up I am not an old man anymore.But also at age 55 my riding style has changed drastically from my young and dumb and bulletproof days.My son is 22 and first thing he said after riding my RSV is Wow that will be my next bike ,so he now owns a 03 Midnite Venture and loves it.I have been asked when will you give up riding and the answer is when I cannot get on it and feel safe holding it up,then I will trade it for a trike.
Telos Posted November 14, 2012 #29 Posted November 14, 2012 My favorite "move" is to wave at those HD guys with my throttle hand. Ah, the joys of cruise control! Old?!?!? well, i guess so.. prefer to think of myself as experienced or seasoned.. my favorite Venture "trick".. cruising down the freeway at 70 - 75mph in 4th gear as we come alongside an HD rider or two. Give'm a little wave (or tip my coffee cup at'em), slide into 5th gear and motor away... AZ speed limit is often 75...
Huggy Posted May 24, 2013 #30 Posted May 24, 2013 I know this is an old thread but I'm new here. Age 63 just bought a 89 Venture Royale. Didn't buy for me but so the wife will get on the bike with me. What do I normally ride? I ride an 83 Yamaha Maxim XJ750K. That bike goes like a bat out of hell and when you shift gears it pushes you back in the seat like an Italian sports car. You are only as old as you feel and riding the Maxim makes me feel twenty again.

dacheedah Posted May 25, 2013 #32 Posted May 25, 2013 I'm in the biggest group, and thats probably true in more ways than one
luke000 Posted May 25, 2013 #33 Posted May 25, 2013 19 here on my end! Bought the MKII last year @ 18. WooHoo!!! I'm in the %.5 exclusive bracket!
Rolltide Posted May 31, 2013 #34 Posted May 31, 2013 Age is the same number as the speed limit when I started to drive. Looks like the boomers own this one.
playboy Posted May 31, 2013 #35 Posted May 31, 2013 I'm in the biggest group, and thats probably true in more ways than one If this poll last much longer I'm going to get promoted to the biggest group.
