My dad got back into biking last year, i had a black 600 Badit for sale, and he loved the look of it, i kept telling him to ride it, and eventually he did, and promptly bought it as well, (no i didnt make a profit out of him!)
I let him have it for what i paid, and he still has it, he loves it, and rides most weekends
He is 64

There's a chap I regularly bump into around Colchester on a Triumph W650, got chatting to him and he mentioned riding an Indian Twin in the war. Didn't think about it at the time, but that makes him at least seventy, and having follwed him on the Harwich run this year, the guy is no slouch

My mum passed her bike test aged 45. She'd got fed up of me and daddykins talking about bikes all the time and decided 'if you can't beat em join em'
I sold her my old H100 because I had bought a GS250 :oops: :oops: :oops:, then borrowed it back to go to school (10 years ago :shock: ) on because my GS250 :lol: :lol: :lol: was poorly, and then some dozy b*tch in a Montego drove into it as I was coming off a roundabout! Gutted! But not as gutted as I would have been if I still owned it! :twisted:
all this age stuff is rubbish really, it will affect you as much as you let it.

Well I was racing rd400 proddies way back and am just back on a bike now. I feel 60 but i think i'm around 45. Old-timers disease kicks in past 40 so i can't remember actual age.
Ther's a guy i see daily in Colchester train station car park, always nods, rides a blue v reg R1. He has to be 50 plus and he doesn't hang around. :)
