Oldest Rider at a young 72 is LOADMASTER (may you have many more years Bro )
Youngest Rider at an old 21 is RoadHammer (only 19 more years till ya start making the oldman noises when ya get out of bed Bro)He has one BAD sled to (awesome paint)

Seems that alot of us went on an average hyatis of 15-25 years untill getting back in the saddle. Guess raising the kids were important to us. Most of us grew up on dirt bikes and graduated onto bigger and better bikes.

Started at age 4- pull start chopper (grandfather built it for me)Age 8 moved up to a yamaha 175 MX. Age 17 had a Yamaha 650 or 750 can remember then sold that bike age 24 to buy my wife her engagement ring.
Took a few years off and now at age 38 back ridding again.

My son-in-law says I'm 50 with 13 yrs of experience. Guess that makes me 63. Started at about 25 on dirt bikes and motorcross racing (read young and invincible.........oh yea and stupid.) Sold my last motorcross bike on crutches. Bad knees from that venture; but still love the scoots. Went to the road with a Honda 650, then a Honda 900. Had 15 year lay-off for different stuff, then got a Kaw 750, then a V-Star 1100 then the Roadie. Had her for about for about 2 years and 26,000 miles. I think I've found the one!!!

At 55 and still " ridin' like I stole it "............so would like to think !

I started when , can't remember what year it was '66 or so,, but my neighbor bought a MOPED and we ran it up and down the alleyways of our CA. neighborhood as if we were bikers, probably saw "Easy Rider" and still were excited. Then he got a Kawasaki 90 and damn "we" were bad dudes in the alleyways for sure. Then after high school "I" bought a Suzuki 400 that was a hell of a one cyclinder thumper, then a Honda 550 four cyclinder and after that I laid off a few years ( like 5+ ) till I bought a cherry Triumph Bonne 750 from a fireman who got a Goldwing. Ran that about 5 yrs and sold it to a traveling buyer from Az who said his father would love it ( regret I sold that one ). Laid off about 14 yrs "just cause" and got the bug again to ride, wife calls it male menopause/change of life crap, but I say it's livin' ! Bought a '90 Venture Royale from the original owner as I always wanted a bagger ! Was great for about 7+ yrs and started looking at HD RoadGlides which I still gawk at, especially the $$$$ ! So I ended up with a RS as I always had my eye on them and couldn't pass up the deal on my Silverado besides saving $$ which made Mama happy. Bottom line is, today at 55, I'm an everyday rider compared to my younger years when it ran just because it sat in my garage. My wife dogs me about already getting a trike, but I tell her only when I can no longer "hold it up between my legs" !
