AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

lol i could care less how old you guys are.... none the less i gotta give ya crap for it

 

45 on a '92 900

 

39 for another 5 weeks on an '09 1000RR.

 

40 is just getting going. For me at 42, I just bought my first street bike with my CBR. Started riding motocross with my son when I turned 40. Life is short. Play hard!

 

As proof that sportbikes are not solely a young man's (or lady's) game, just check out the age demopgraphics at your next trackday. Depending on the organization, easily 50% or more of the attendees will be over 40 with a fair number over 50 and some north of 60. In fact, if you look at who's at the Reg Pridmore, Kevin Schwantz, and Keith Code events, the vast majority of the attendees are in the 40 plus bracket. And more than a few are pretty quick. Obviously, disposable income has something to do with some of the schools. But the fact remains that not only are us geezers riding sportbikes, we're riding them on the track and still getting a knee down.

While my first trackday is this coming Friday and I'm looking forward to getting the '08 CBR1000RR out, I also realize that I don't fold into the sportbike crouch as well as I used to or am able to hold it for as long as I used to. To that end, just picked up an '03 CB900F. Am adding a Penske rear shock, forks from an '02 F4 to get full adjustment in the front, braided lines and good pads, steering damper, and Q2s. In the mid afternoons if keeping the crouch is becoming a problem or if just want to ratchet it back a couple of clicks, then break out the 900 and ride keep riding around in a nice, relaxed upright position. Will not be the fastest bike out there but am pretty certain won't be the slowest. The other thing that's nice about getting some age on you, there's not as much to prove.

I think the line goes something to the effect of you don't stop riding because you get old. Rather, you get old because you stop riding.

 

I'll be 61 in July, and still the fastest in the twisties., (in my club),..2010 CBR1000RR, Black & white.

 

I really like this posting LOL!! I'm 47 , and race around with my son dirt-biking on most weekends , and riding on a 93 CBR1000 f hurricane ! Not only can I rip it up with the younger crowd ,, I've been known to teach some of these so-called experienced "youngsters" a thing or two at the track and on the dirt . So , beware young --z-- ,, because the one that crosses the finish line before you , or helps you out on the roadside ,, might be one of us. I've been riding 30+ yrs now and this I know,, when you get to our age,,, we'll STILL be riding ,, even if its a CBR powered wheelchair! LOL!!
