Real Seniority

Been riding since 62 first those tote goats then my neighbors Honda 150 dream, egads..............:scared:

 

Imagine that! People of all ages are riding. I have been riding since 76 when I was 11. At times I got caught riding in the street to be punished several times over and over. Eventually my parents sold my bike but by then I had pals that had bikes that I could borrow and be chased by the local sheriff.

When I grow up one of these days, I will use four wheels and geritol to get around.

 

Foogeys?

Man, I'm glad that I'm not as old as you geezers!:caked:

 

Well Legs I would like to say there are advantages in getting older but to tell the truth I can't think of to many off hand. You just tend to know more about the shit that can happen.

 

I think i have the worst Seniority,(BRAT 0-5). I restoreing my 83 interceptor, just a few more tweek and she's done, but the sad thing is i dont even now how to ride a bike and dont even have my liecense yet, but next spring im all registered so ill be rideing next year, lol

 

Hey grinder - yeah not too many advantages to growing older...until you consider the alternative.

 

jetts_lm - good looking bike!
I had one just like it back when I lived in Europe in the '80's. Great commuter and a lot of fun on the Autobahns! I liked to work on it 'till once I had the carbs off and dropped a main jet into the intake tract, and it lodged between the valve and seat (they're brass and non-magnetic). I won't disclose how I got it out.


...The things you learn the hard way...!

Hey can a gal get in here?? I started riding when ladies were thought of as "bad girls" if you rode a bike. And I was, for a time...LOL But that was in the '80's. Now I'm a grandmother of 7, and ride like a teenager!!

We will never get old, as long as we ride!

 

55 years riding 48 bikes. Will probably be buried with my favorite one.
The secret of a long life? Ride until they pry you off!
I have a friend who is 86...one eye...5 bikes...and rides them like
he stole them!

 

You remind me of Bert Monroe, A Kiwi who went to the Salt flats in the mid sixties after he had retired. He set a number of land speed records on an old Indian motorcycle he pretty much rebuilt by hand. He still holds one record today. They made a movie about him called The Worlds Fastest Indian. It was never in wide release but you can rent it. For motorccyle nuts its well worth a look. Pretty inspiring guy.

 

i have been riding 43 years .i am in ne oklahoma and would like to get a spring ride to th e grand canyon in the spring .anybody interested

 

Been riding 23 years starting at 10 with a honda ct70 that I ended up bringing home to Japan in 1989. It stayed there with a dealer who was interested in the novelty of a bike that crossed the Pacific twice. Took my MSF course on base there at 17. I've been riding mostly small bikes till now.
I hope to ride this one for the next 23.

 

You are all still bad girls! (Thank God).:clap2:

I clubbed the first VFR when it crawled up out of the ocean!

 

I started riding in November '99.

I'd been using public transport to get to wherever I needed to go, but the lead up to the 2000 Olympics changed things. There was a lot of work being done on the train network, with busses substituting for trains fairly frequently. When you only have 12 hours between shifts to get home, eat, sleep & then get back to work, the last thing I needed was extra travel time.

A friend was a instructor for a bike training company, he convinced me to have a go. And I'm still riding...

:biggrin:
