Tell her you are going to go buy a Harley and then come home with a new 1125!

I guess the 84 year old man that brought his bike to the track should have been told he exceeded some magical age limit.

I best tell Schwantz he can't come out and ride either...

Fuck that.

Hmmm... took the MSF and bought my baby Ninja 2 years ago just after turning 43. I guess I missed the too old memo, too. :lol:

Ever heard the saying...You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing!

Buy what you want, not what someone else wants.

I'll be 43 this year, going from a VTX to an FZ1 and when I can afford a second bike it'll be an R6 or a supermoto to hooligan on :D

I used to pit next to a guy named Doc Brown when I raced vintage bikes.

He was in his sixties back then. He fucking terrorized the 250 class on a TZ 250. The guy was unbeatable.

He also had an AARP sticker on the back of his bike, just to add insult to injury. :lol:

I'm 38 and definately don't think or feel I'm too old, age is just a number.....

i'm 35 and will ride sportbikes long as I can, its starting to hurt my knees pretty bad, but will probably just buy some adjustable rearsets

or do what I did, buy the bike with the most room for the rider. :D

You're too old ONLY when you go to push the starter button and suddenly DIE on the bike in your parking place. theres no such thing as too old until you're no longer able to handle it safely in my book.
