41 here....just got a sweet deal on an 08 1000RR....upgrading from an F4i and before that a 650 vstar....will take advanced riding course next season.....no track for me but i love riding....still do and plan to until the first snow hits the ground...

 

Technically the question was "CBR 1000" so I hope I'm not in the wrong pew. I'll be 55 next month.

 

A Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden pulled me over for doing over 80 in a 55 mph on my 08 1000RR. I also had an expired registration sticker. He talked pretty ruff with me until he found out how old I was. I kept my helment on the whole time. He thought I was a young punk. He was kinda young himself. There was an older man in the truck with him. Looks like they had a good laugh, and then he gave me a warning on the speed, and told me how to get the registration ticket dissmised. But, I do fell 20 when I ride.

 

I'm 56, started riding in '03 when I turned 50 <Suzuki Volusia,cruiser>, two seasons later I got into long distance touring/camping and graduated to a '05 Honda ST 1300. Picked up a new '08 CBR 1000 on Saturday; I'll keep my ST for the trips, but the CBR make me feel 21, and I've only had one relaxed "break-in" ride so far. This mid-life crisis doesn't seem to be going away. Chuck

 

Turned 60 in July and still enjoy my 2000 929 like the day I bought it. Age is just a number.
