Thats cool????

 

I was on a ride a couple of years ago and there was this guy who was riding a R6. Come to find out after we stopped for breakfast he was in his 70's. :scared That dude could really flog the piss out of it. He was originally from Europe. I see lot's of guys at the track who are up there in age and are having a blast. I think it's mind over matter and if your body is able then enjoy it to the max. :fact

 

that is too cool. I hope to be riding until around that age....

:rock

oldest I have seen was in his late 40's on a 636.

 

Come on guys, I'm 51 and riding an R-1. i'm having a blast. I rode a 61 Harley Panhead for 23 years, and my R-1 is way more fun. Ride on.......

 

my friends and I rode up to the Rock store in Malibu a few years ago and met a guy who just turned 75 and bought a brand new Ducati.....I thought he was awesome!:thumbup

 

Been there more than a few times.Nice roads around there, eh? Just gotta watch out for the CHP, they are everywhere!

I'm 24 years old with 10 years experience...:2bitchsla :crash

 

I used to ride with a guy in West Australia called John Rova.
At that time he has had just swapped from a FZR1000 to a YZF1000 Thunder ace.
He was 73 at the time.
In my bike club he was amoungst the fastest of them all.
He used to flog most of the young guys who could not believe it when he pulled off his helmet as he looked every day of his 73 years.
What they didn't know was his past.
He used to race factory Nortons and triumphs back in the 50-60's on the Isle of Man.
Raced proffesionaly in Australia for many years.

He eventutally "Retired" after a high speed crash.
He wasn't really hurt but said that he could no longer ride at the pace he enjoyed with his eyesight failing and as far as he was concerned riding a cruiser was like sitting on a couch, comfortable & safe but boring as hell.
He knew that if he rode with the fast boys any more it would only be matter of time before he got bitten really badly.

It was sad to see him retire, but boy was he fast right up to the end.
