Will be 40 next year ............ thing is I reckon I'm going to like being an old fart.

Judging by the way I can make choosing oil for the bike seem like a lifes work ............. gotta get out more.

I'm fifty and came back to biking 4.5 years ago so I'm over the average. Have been told that before several times but hey that's was nowt to do with age nor waistline ha ha :whatever

I'm old, but my GP says I'm important.

Too important to have any more children, apparently, but not sure what the connection is.........perhaps all important people fiddler into a jar.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I was in a band many moons ago named Massacre, as a band we tried to all get the same sort of user name (I.E masacrebassist, masacreguitarist etc) but that failed so to get around this we decided to use Masaka instead. Bit of a crap story but that's the explanation behind it lol

mebe users should post their wii fit age instead....
mine is 69, which i thought is quite fitting seeing as im a horny fker lol :biggrin

real age is bs tbh - i know people 10 years younger than me who are physical wrecks and have got totally no go in them, sh1t knows what they'll be like in 10 years when the beer and lack of exercise has caught up.
then i know some people ten years older than me who are fit as fiddles and could run rings round me easy!

raises the question - do you think being physically fit / unfit affects your ability as a rider?
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

So out of 42 votes (I thought there was a lot more people on here) the average age of a Storm owner is 41 - 45, (31%).

So does that mean, as I'm in the 10 years younger bracket I should be hooning around on an R1 instead?

I'm 55 in October, and from the replies i must be the oldest member :( and I've had my storm for the past 10 years. Would that also make me the longest (timewise) owner of the same storm? :think:

You are still a baby in real terms. I am 65 been riding since I was 15 still riding still doing 2 jobs not ready to hang up my helmet yet. Been wondering whether to move up to an RC8 seen some good deals at 8k but think I would keep the Storm.
I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.
