I've owned my Road* for about two and a half years, now. I brought it home the day before my youngest son moved off to college. Got back to riding after about a 25 yr break. Last bike was a Yamaha 750 Special ('78, I think). Prior to that a Yamaha 125 Enduro.

DJV happy birthday,many returns

I turned 24 in August... that might make me the youngest one here...

Ok here ya go. This is the avg. up untill (Machines Post).

98- People adding up to 4763 years.
4763 divided by 98 == 48.602 Years Average !!

Oldest Rider at a young 70 is LOADMASTER (may you have many more years Bro )
Youngest Rider at an old 22 is SILVASILV (only 18 more years till ya start making the oldman noises when ya get up Bro)

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.

P.S. I finally got a good Interview and looks like I will be getting back to work in a few weeks. They have to wait for the Background check to clear. Man it has been a long five months. Will be working for Panasonic silkscreening the labels on the DVD's.(heck I thought they were burned in them, you learn something new everyday) Thanks to all who were keeping me and my family in their thoughts and prayers over the past months.

61 here; but definitely not "grown-up", at least that is what my kids and wife say. Started riding at 22 (motocross and enduro) tore a leg up and went into hiding for a few years. went to the road and after a few bikes I ended up selling my 900 Honda to buy an engagement ring for the 2nd wife (shoulda kept the bike ) Was off for about 15 years then finally found the right wife and got back on................3 bikes later, I'm on the Roadie and loving every minute of it. Ride with a great group of guys and gals (No Rules Riders) we are all ages and bikes and no one ever mentions age for anyone.

I am 42 and have ridden for over half my life. Now that I stop to think about that fact....wow. I have always had a bike, well at least for the past 20+ years anyway.The Roadie, a Venture, a Sporty, a shovel, an Evo, a Triumph and a Norton. I really can't see myself not riding. With me, as I am sure with alot of others, it really is a way of life.

30 in December been riding for 5 years

Ok here ya go. This is the avg. up untill (Butter Beans post).

101- People adding up to 4896 years.

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.

Thanks for update..TOPNOTCH..

I guess that puts me 'above average'...hang on, in this case that works against me...doesn't it??!!
