Welcome Masakabassist........................where'd that name come from?

well im 42 and had the storm over a year now, didnt think i would have a big bike lol
i used to hav 600s .....

48,about 18 month since i had a storm so still in the same age group.

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

I'll be 42 in May, 22 in my head and with the bad back and joints of an 80 year old...

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.

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

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?

Turning 45 this March & turning 3 with my '98 Storm this May. So, the median is I'm only 24

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?

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 plan / hope to be like you - intend to keep myself reasonable fit as to give me the best chance - my son is only a week old, be nice to think I would be touring with him in 21 years time!!
