Re: How Old Are You?
Age is basically mind over matter.......
If ya don't mind, it doesn't matter.
I'm 50, still like a kid in some aspects, a bit more serious in others.
'80 CBX, '76 Honda CB750, '89 Yamaha Venture Royale, '07 Harley 1200 Sportster Roadster.

Re: How Old Are You?
50, today by the way. Retired? I'm on the WTID plan. I got my first bike at seven (CT70) which I shared with my brother. That meant if the sun was up, that poor thing was running. From that I have had a 69 Trailbreaker, 71 SL125(probably one of the most abused bikes ever), 125 Penton, 75 550F, XL250, XL500, 83 650 Nighthawk (quite underrated bike, I have had two) My 79 CBX, an 83 750 Sabre, and my ST1100. Still have a few of them, wish I could get a couple back.

Re: How Old Are You?
Well let's see,
OK, 58.
Retarded for 2 years now. Yes I can spelled RETIRED correctly, you know what we all keep saying. "This job is driving me crazy." So after 32 years it looks like I went over the edge, so that takes care of the first job. Now that I am fully over the edge I decited to go to work part time. Yes Iam now working at AutoZoo better known as ( can't use there correct name ) so now I only go crazy half of the time..... or is it 1 an 1/2 times

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cigar in one hand, beer in the other, body used up, totally worn-out and screaming, "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Re: How Old Are You?
My old feeling didn't start until after 65 and for the last 3 yrs or so, it has been a steady decline but I still ride a lot but keeping 9 bikes in order is a challenge. I need to unload a few of them in the coming year.

Re: How Old Are You?
Yes I`am doing better, but actually my doctor was telling me on august that a new operation have to be done. But when nobody knows... and before I ride as much I can. The bad thing is that soon it`s going to be freezing cold and snow in the ground on Finland.EMS wrote:jomi32 wrote:I´am 53 years and retired, I retire when I was 44 years I get badly sick in that age.

When I was younger I loved the alpine skiing, nowadays not so much.

When I was a kid I liked to ski also but, I have not been in 30 years and am honestly afraid I would break my leg or neck now.jomi32 wrote:When I was younger I loved the alpine skiing, nowadays not so much.
Keep the youth, I hear that it is important the older you get and good luck going under the knife.
