How many older guys ride VFR?

70 last June and intend to rock the roads until at least 80

 

Hammer down gents

 

53 here, never thought about being to old for a spirited ride . in fact I just maybe a smoother rider than I was when I was younger .

 

Of course you are, maturity and knowledge help a little...nothin to prove to anyone, especially when ya have a family depending on you to come home every day.
Honestly I say a prayer every morning to control my impulse to get angry and just let the idiots go, pass me when Im doin 75.
Love passing the nimrod 2 minutes later and wavering, see ya FU*k.
Sorry for getting off track there, experience it daily.
DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED. ....

 

Well gents don't feel old anymore compare to some rider in this forum. 61 don't have a vf running yet. To ride relax my air head to increase the pase 84 gpz and ballistic,stress reliever 13 duc sf.Ride safe.

 

Lets see the GPZ...

 

] post some more from home,my phone is having some issues.

 

That was the shit back in the eighties. ..always loved that bike....

 

Nice GPZed

 

And the turbo....
Pre 900 Ninja

 

Dang, and I was expecting to see a GPz550. Nice bike there, sasha. I like 'em vintage and now I are one.

I hope this is true. Heck, if I just do one I'll be overdoing it.

 

Just got back from a 5 day trip around Lake Superior. I went by myself. Stop when I want. Go when I want. Started in Chicago On Sept 6th. and returned on Sept. 10th. 1783 miles total. Stayed in motels. I'm 63. The RWB performed flawlessly. Everybody thinks I'm nuts. They're probably right.

P.S. The North Shore of Lake Superior in Canada is absolutely beautiful!!

 

Well, I may win the old age prize. Just bought a VFR and I am 66. Coming from a BMW R1200ST, I am considering is Helibars. Not to be discouraging, but I do not believe I would be riding if it were not for daily exercise routine ... and my weekend 5 hour rides can be pretty tiring.... No cruiser in my future though...

 

That's awesome, bet that was an excellent ride. That's how it's done! Post pics if you have 'em.

 

I'm 65, still in good shape. I have a 5th gen 2000 VFR, with a peg lowering kit, and hell bars. It's fairly comfy, but can't compare with my Yammie FJR for all day comfort. But its cooler!!

 

71 in a month!

 

Was only 45 when this thread started, thankfully still find my ergo stock VFR all day comfortable.

 

Nice thread --- I'm new here, but been around Earth for 51years now --- riding a red '94 since a couple of months --- never really had time when I was younger

 

To steal from bob Dylan, you'll be forever young now. Riding my viffer I feel that way and the road goes on forever. I know I have to come home sometime but what a gas every time I get the bike out.

 

I am 45. Been hooked on 'sportbikes' since hurricanes where no longer just weather. The VFR750 was always a lusty dream. ah but that was then and now isn't.
After a broken back forced me to sell my Gixxer750 I went the cruiser route. But It's a riding style who's addictiveness know no age. Still at it as long as I can get a leg over!
