    I'm another youngin' here. I just turned 45 :lol: a couple months after getting my very first bike! Only took me about 29 years between when I first wanted one to actually getting one. Better late than never!

    I am 51. Sometimes I feel it and sometimes I don't. When I am on the xj I mostly feel at peace with the world.

    Amen BikerEd. We'll be dead a long time for sure - no need to get an early start. Congratulations on your career in biking.

    36. But I'm 22 when I'm on the XJ - the age I was when I first bought it.

    From that poll, why did love for the XJs skip an entire generation of 30 to 39 year olds?

    57 and I'm not old until I say so. Street rider since age 16.

    We do seem to be divided between old farts and young whipper-snappers.
    I think the group we "skipped" is trying really hard to FORGET the 80s...

    I created a poll for this question - so we can see it graphically. Keep posting stories here - it was not my intention to highjack this thread.

    35 years old and Just bought an 81 XJ650 - my first bike! Got lucky with one that only needs some minor things done to it.

    Using a powerful computer program, I collated the results:

    age- - -poll %- - -other poll%

    20's- - - 16- - - - 30
    30's- - - 22- - - - 19
    40's- - - 32- - - - 27
    50's- - - 16- - - - 17
    60's- - - 10- - - - 2

    This poll looks like a single hump camel.
    The 40's bracket does seem to dominate.

    54 here. Just remember, you're only as old as the girls you feel.
