How old is an XJ Biker?

I can't believe I'm in the most popular category 29yo. I so did not see that coming.

 

<== 52 8)

 

I'm 36 yrs old,got my license and my first bike last summer and have been addicted ever since.

BTW,where I'm from,we call a dozen beer a case and 24 is a 2-4 or a flat.

 

The first time he called it a 2-4 I was confused. It does make sense. He's still blown away by the fact he can pick up his 2-4 of Moosehead at Wal-Mart.

Oh I hijacked the thread... sorry

 

I'm 24, married with 2 boys. 2.5 and 6 months. Money is tight but since our second car bit the dust and we are not replacing I have been able to use the excuse of needing the bike to commute to convince the "financial controller" of the family to let me spend a little more of it.

I just about bought an '01 VFR a few weeks ago but couldn't pull the trigger. I didn't like the idea of having to get rid of my XJ. I do wish I had some more power though. I hope one of these days I can manage to have at least 2 bikes.

 

WHAT?! ..... *head blows up*

 

I'm 28, and I just love that old school flavor!

 

I concur!! There's a place south of the border that sells good beer?? Let alone good CANADIAN beer??

If I go South, I go to TN

 

28 and surprised i'm in similar company -
with kids and my xj is twice as safe as other bikes
because it only stars half the time

working on that though!!

 

Come on down. What's a few more Canadians?

At one point this summer we had four cars in the driveway, all with different canadian plates, at the same time. Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
All his friends and family love it here. They all drive because of the stupid passport requirment to fly.

 

I'm 38 and buy beer for home consumption by the 12 pack. When away at the bar, it's one 16 oz aluminum bottle at a time. Don't have to call them anything. When I walk in the door the barmaid is getting the first one out the cooler. After that, the empties make a nice "ping" when setting them down on the bar. Been going to that bar for years and can't remember the last time I had to actually call out the name of the beer. So I guess I buy mine by the "one and done" method.

 

62 here and have the SS deposits to prove it.

Really glad to see I’m not the oldest!

By the way thank you and keep those SS deposits coming.

I'm 24, first bike is my '83 XJ650 Maxim. Actually have a '77 KZ650 I bought earlier this year but never got it running right, thus I never rode it.

 

I here you there. I am over 40 going on 25. Lost everything, starting over. My first street bike was a Midnight Maxim, and I this is about it as far as my midlife crises budget.

 

30 here and love riding my xj

 

34 here. I've always wanted an XJ 4 banger and well here I am!

 

55 and loving it.

Maybe I bought the XJ650 because it looked like my first bike but grown up? First bike was a 1970 FS-1 'Fizzy'.

Here 24 is a case.

 

HAH! A fellow old fart.

I see you found the "What was your first bike?" thread.

 

I is 33 years old.

 

40 years young with an 83 maxim. Finally able to ride with an old school look and accelerate like a new storm.
