I'll be 30 in a couple weeks but I'm still a child. I refuse to "grow up"
 
I'm 46 for the time being and I didn't even ride motorcycles until I was 42. I was thinking the other day that in 1986 when my ZL600 was new, I was stationed in Fairbanks AK, in the Air Force and I was all of 23 or so and I wouldn't have purchased a new motorcycle then for two reasons...1: I WAS BROKE and 2: My first wife wasn't crazy about motorcycles and living in AK when the riding season was only 3 months long, it just wasn't a good thing to try and buy a motorcycle in AK.

I also get the feeling that if I had had the ZL600 at that time in my life I might have wound up dead with such a quick bike.

I sometimes wish my ZL600 looked a bit better but I'm very happy how it rides and that I had a large hand in raising it from the dead.

:headbang:
 
So, what. . . RKERG and I are the oldest ones here? I just turned 55 on the 16th of August . . . I do fart, but it hasn't turned to dust yet.

I do, however, refuse to grow up, or act my age!!! :pistols:
 
Don't forget Chris's dad, Marty - still the oldest member on here right? Later.
 
My first bike in 56,a 47 Indian Chief,2nd in 62 a 58 Triumph 250 bought from a local in Saigon to get from Than San Nhut to To Do street and others over the years.
Last weekend 1400 mi in three days NW New Mexico,Western Colo,and Eastern Utah.(I cheated and took the Wing)Today 100 mi in the Superstitions in my RZR S. Will be 71 in two weeks,but plan on being up on the Rim in the RZR.Age
and old are two different words.

So, what have been riding all these years?
 
Kaw - A few Harleys, a Norton, and a Trumpet. The Norton Commando and the Triumph Trident were fast, but not like the Eliminator.
 
Old. I'm one of the guys that fart dust.

I bought my first ZL1K when they came out in '87. I destroyed that one. You know, same old story. High speed, guard rail, hospital, 1 yr probation.:nono:

I told the dealer I wanted another. Red like the first. It took him a while to locate one, but he did and I still have it.

I was 1 of only 2 guys that owned one in Peoria, Ill at the time.
