old stuff

how many older guys /gals out there riding and fixing xjs?

 

How old is older? I'm 36. My XJ is my first bike.

 

I'm well past 50 and not alone here... but then again I've been riding for 46 years...

 

ya, how old is old? im older than elementry kids, but im 17...... nah i know what you mean... I consider 50 ish to be "old" well not really, i guess if you've retired you're "old"

 

I'm getting older. This is my last year in my thirties. Learning to ride and fix xj's. Can be expensive keeping these on the road, but well worth the satisfaction!

 

I'm a moldy 54. When I was Schooter's age, I thought 54 was past old.

 

Been a member of the over 50 club going on 3 years!
Riding for over 40 of them.
Only been working on XJ's for the past couple years.

 

Will be 60 2 weeks ftom today. 1st xj/street bike, only other experience was racing motocross in the early 70's.

 

Watch it Schooter you young whippersnapper! I was 17 once myself! Admittedly it was in 1974. Occaisionally a random thought from those days still kind of flits through the fog. I was riding a Hodaka 125 Wombat at the time. Look it up on the web. Note: it was a regular Wombat and not a Combat Wombat. There goes another one of those random thoughts from the 70's again!

 

I am a Southern Belle I will not reveal my age.....

 

Passed the 40 mark last year. Been riding and wrenching 22 of them.

 

I'm 29 my wife is 25 and tells me I'm old all the time!!

 

Just turned 56 and still refuse to grow up. I'm building a 40' tour bus with my friend to go across Canada with his son-in-laws band, the Brandon Paris Band. It's going to be a blast!

 

I'll be 26 in April, so not that old.
Young enough to still look good on a sport bike,
Old enough to be responsible on the Maxim. LOL

 

I don't wish to reveal my actual age,but I can say that I am between 46 and 48 years old...

 

I'm one year older than sesame street and 6 months younger than the super bowl.

 

Old is 15 years older than you are now.

I am over 50 - been riding for over 30 years with a 20+ years gap in riding..

 

I was a freshman in HS when my bike came out.. about 41 now physically.. Mentally my GF and my son think I am still a teenager

 

You young wet-behind-the-ears whippersnappers! I'm 63 and haven't been without a bike for 46 years.
Had a scare last year when gout in the knees made it very hard to ride, but four little pills a day and I'm back in the saddle full time. Haven't driven the car since Dec 18th last year.

 

I'm 56 this year and been riding since I was 15.
Had a Harley Hummer when I was 15.
Can't stand the sound of a V-Twin compared to an inline 4

Been working on bikes since I was 15 but only on XJ's for several years now.
That brings me to this site,
What a great site!!!
With enough of us putting our info together..... we ought to be able to fix just about any XJ problem!

Thanks to Sno keep up the good work!
