How old is everyone?

I'll be 67 in June and I am still going and going and going.
So, you pups, it can be done by the Grace of God, healthy
living and a good set of genes! OK, a little bit of luck too!

17, 18 in October, my XJ 550 is my first and this year will be my first real riding year.

 

I am 41 and learned to ride on a Honda Elsinore 50 when I was 10 or 11. Been on two wheels since then.
This Seca is my 4th street bike. The first three were Harleys.
I don't own a Harley now and probably never will again.

 

43. The Seca is my third bike, but its been over 20 yrs since I sold the second one. Enjoy riding now more than ever - why the heck did I wait so long?

 

46 yrs. old, been riding since I was 16. Bought a 750 3 yrs ago after a 16 year hiatis, and got my 2nd 1100 late last Summer.

24 - been riding a year on my first bike that is a 1983 xj 750 maxim work in progress - the only problem is that the riding is so much more fun than the working when the days are warm so you get it running strong but not pretty then enjoy, the cosmetic stuff has to wait until winter.

 

22 learned how to ride on a 1976 honda xr75 when I was 10. Bought my first street bike 1985 XJ700(non-X) three weeks ago.

 

27, first moped at 16, first bike (MK) at 25

 

26, used to drive a lot mopeds and 125cc enduro bike when I was 10-18. Then got licence to drive a car and haven't had bikes since then... Now bought 1983 XJ550 (seca I guess :? ) last week and I'm really stoked of 2-wheels again :twisted:

 

40 years young here. Started out at 16 with a Honda MB-5 then bought a Honda Ft-500 Ascot, blew that up and found the seca 550. I have owned two seca 550's, bought a seca 750 for my Dad, and bought a seca turbo about 4 years ago. Raced the seca 550 in Vintage Dinosaurs at Willow Springs from 1992-97 and finished up as class champion in a class that was unlimited displacement. Still have the Superseca 550 with tons of work done to it, its just not street legal. Every year I tell myself that I will put the street gear on it and get it running again.

26. I have been riding dirtbikes for about 8 years, living in the middle of the New Mexican desert leaves not much else to do...well that and shooting stuff. ) I have never had a street bike of any sort until 3 days ago when i bought my 1981 Yamaha XJ650 maxim.

I have been looking for a bike to help offset the coming gasoline crisis as my lifted 4x4 truck and its 14-16 miles a gallon will not due. My XJ will get around 40mpg, well, once I get my parts from Chacal at least. )

67 - rode my first bike @ 26 (50cc) put 120,000 miles on bikes by the time
I was 52 and Mr Grope took off my leg with his bumper. Two years age I got back on and have added 6000 miles more to my total.

 

hmm. 52, been riding since I was 25 or so. Someone gave me a 70 something honda 350, took it apart, reassembled it, drove it in and out of Boston for a year or so, then got a mid 80's Suzuki 450, then a Suzuki GS750, which I blew up on Sandia Mountain in NM, then a Harley tourglide, which was nothing but trouble, then a 72 Honda CB750, which I put literally 100k on, and gave away cause the damned thing wouldn't die so I could get a new bike, then drove a 70 MG Midget for five years, seized the engine, got rid of that, which brings me to the XJ650. Which has new brakes and is getting registered tomorrow. WOOHOO!
