Just turned 39 in August...been riding 2 years now except for dirt-bikes in my teens. 2 years ago the (now) ex-wife told me "Get a hobby, get a motorcycle, or get a girlfriend, just get out of my hair!!" Boy was SHE surprised when I rolled up on the bike the next day. I was still hoping to patch things up, so the girlfriend option didn't seem like the best idea. The bike seemed like the best way.....I consider myself very lucky that i got to keep it after the divorce!

35 here

Man. I turned 59 earlier this month and today my wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary. Who'da thunk it?

Well here is a puzzle for you guys to figure out on a Sunday Evening. I am 336 years old in dog age. LOL Been riding on and off for over 35 years, and hoped on my first bike at 13.

I never really base riding experiance on how long you have been riding but how many miles you have logged and what conditions. I know I am probly over the 1,000,000 mile mark. Shoot just hit 40,000 on my 06 Roadie. I ride with some people that have 6-8 year old bikes with only 10,000-20,000 miles on them and they refuse to ride in the rain or wind. I do not have anything agaist people like that, I just bought mine to ride and not to look at. The thought is even crossing my mind to have the first RAT Roadie. Guess I have been on my soapbox long enough. You Guys have a nice safe work week and God bless you all. OSO

P.S. Those of you who know I have been unemployed now for 4-months but I do have a good interview this Tues.

I see you've got one of those Lindby crash bars. I've been trying for months to get my hands on one of those. Next step is to import one from US.
