How old are you? Are you still riding?(Poll)

I have posted this before but it is apt (so I'll do it again)...
Cheers to all you old bastards!!!

I turned 68 in July - seems like I am in good company !

It's a funny thing
I can remember as a surly 18 year old with a 650 BSA saying I'd always have a bike even if i was 40 years old and the bike was a Honda gold wing!!!!
Actually when I look at those early plain Jane wings they look a whole lot better!! I must be getting old

I know about them well...... my '79 is still going, but only 60,000 on it.

Being a small person I have always been puzzled by huge motorbikes. In fact, most of the "normal" bikes today all seem
way over weight to me. Even in the late 60s I wondered why they were so heavy. Frames of lead adorned with heavy guards,
seats weighing like a sitting room couch and cast iron cylinders for heaven's sake. My Rickman Enfield may be the last stand of
my squadron...360 dry!

Took my 1st ride in over 25 years yesterday. Put in 130 miles. I'll be 71 years old in less than a month.

67 and still kick starting.

18 years old between my ears. 7 decades of abuse everywhere else. Nice to see some younger age numbers.

Should be "How old are you and still riding a Norton?"

Are the young bucks under 40 riding Nortons, or just visiting for entertainment?

I ride enough, and will be out today testing a fork oil weight change.

The garage is not full of motorcycles anymore. Just the 1 Norton I can stand over with both feet on the ground. Real easy to move around. It weighs less than 400lbs. It's a good "old guys rule" bike.

I'm 63 in 2 months, still ride a lot. I feel kind of lucky that I am probably the last generation that remembers the bikes actually being produced in British factories. All I ever wanted as a youngster was a Triumph Trident after the all conquering year of 1971 when I was 13. I got my wish at 20 and blew the motor after a few weeks. Anyway sorted it out and had the T150 3 years and then bought a Combat for GB£ 250. Since then I've had several Tridents and Commandos (still have 2 of each) as well as loads of other 'lesser' bikes at the same time , although some weren't actually 'lesser'. I'm happy with what I got now although maybe another R3 or slabside Suzi wouldn't be sniffed at .

I added my vote at age 79. If you continue this survey past next January, I'll get to join the more exclusive 80+ club. I'm still riding regularly, at least once a week, usually more. I'm riding my 961 again after the crash repairs, but finding myself riding my Triumph Street Triple more often now. I'm finding the lighter weight, smaller bike a little more suitable at my age. The triple is something like 80 lbs. lighter than the 961, and that's a big difference. The heavier bikes are fine when moving, but it's getting more difficult for me to push them around for parking and such, particularly on dirt or gravel, or on slopes. I have dropped a couple of bikes while doing so in the last few years, and I'd like to avoid that in the future. I still occasionally get to ride my grandsons MK3, and it still feels comfortable for me to maneuver around. I guess I need to get more serious about getting mine back on the road, as well as the '72 Combat I'm rebuilding. I'm looking at getting a newer bike in the 400 - 420 lb (or less) category so I can try out all the new electronic gadgetry, like leaning ABS and traction control, ride modes, quickshifters, cruise control, etc. That would be a replacement for the Street Triple, which is an early model with none of the new-fangled electronics. Looking forward to more riding adventures for as long as they are still fun.

I,m 77 and take short rides on my Mk3 2 to 3 times a month. My riding buddy died and it,s not as much fun riding by myself. I do ride to local car/bike shows up to 75 miles away.
I kick start 90% of the time in sympathy for my modified OEM starter. I still have the original sprague.

71 and still riding my Brit bikes, when I get old I'll probably buy a bike built in the 21st century that has an electric starter!

I'm 65. It's often said "it's not the age, it's the miles!" The sins of working concrete construction in my youth are making their presence known these days--a lot of aches and pains. Took the Commando out yesterday for a short ride; the aches/pains went away after a mile or two.

Norton therapy!

73 and still riding my commando and a mz etc 251, long may it continue.

I'm 32 and have been riding Nortons since I was 25. There's lots of younger vintage bike riders out there, just not many riding Nortons. Most likely because they cost 5-10x what a vintage Honda will cost you.

You are as old as your woman or should it be as old as your bike?

67 as of a few weeks ago. Still commute every day I can on a bike, usually my 2017 Triumph Bonny but I try and take the Commando and A10 out every week. Trailered the Commando to north western PA 2 weeks ago and did 400 plus miles in two days. Am planning a trip to the farthest reaches of northern Maine in a few weeks to drop off a magneto for work. Should be about a 1000 miles on the Suzuki by the time I'm done. Funny thing is the older I get the more time I have to ride and am enjoying it more and more.

Im 60 and now have 3 summers of riding under my belt. Love it and am looking forward to many more.

36 here, I've had my Norton for 10 years next month.
