Too old for a sport bike? - Page 10

Smittie61984 · 06-21-2008, 12:07 PM

When I was at Deal's Gap last there was some joker who looked to between 60-80years old. He was riding a XR650 Supermoto with a Repsol Kit on it(It looked awesome). He left the observation point doing the best wheelie even with it being Florida Sportbike week.

And in Georgia I got dominated by some fat 55-60 year old guy on a ZX10 and his 50 year old or so wife on an R1 on the "Georgia Loop" which is like Deal's Gap only faster but almost as curvy.

Now if you get say a Ducati you don't look as silly because most Ducati or other exotic bike owners are in their 30s-40s because they can actually afford them.

Yeah, I used to get guys I worked with using a site kinda like that. I would tell them somebody we all knew got arrested and the mug shot is online, and that there's a searchable mug-shot database at www dot mugseek dot com. Then I would stand out of arms reach so I didn't get hit!

Thoe are the best webites ever. We have one called "Scan Dekalb" that features some funny shit. Dekalb County consists of the straight up hook with some of the toughest gangs in America. And some of the yuppiest fudge packing scooter piloting whities in the world. Then every kind of culture in between. On a local motorcycle forum we have a thread dedicated to just those shots. Some have been people smiling like it's a yearbook picture and one girl flicked off the camera. Hell one day they didn't even have a picture of someone. They caught the invisible man (Our cops are that good).

Then my county...

The funniest part is you'll see these straight up scarred up tattooed gun shot wound sporting ganglords in there for murder, robbery, assaulting an officer, or other serious crimes. Then next to him is some skinny white pretty boy from Suburbia who went to downtown Atlanta to party and is in there for Drunk in Public and such. And you know thoe two are sharing a cell and the skinny boy is freaking out.

Also most pretty girls are in there for Shoplifting.

anyways back to the show. Ride till ya die no matter your age.

Some of those dudes have some nice dreads. One of my friends has been working on his for like 2 years now.

Your wife is retarded, but I guess that's a typical attitude for the Midwest where sportbikes are considered kids toys instead of legitimate transportation like they are here on the West (Best) Coast. I know a guy who's about 63-64 and has over 60K miles on his ZX10r.

Holy old thread, Batmand.

Hell, Tracy just turned 37.. he rides a Busa and a TLR... and occasionally my 1098.

There's no such thing as too old, IMO...

No kidding, I already bought the bike, rode the bike, and killed the bike. LOL

i'm in my 40's and just got rid of my last sport. I'll have another in a year or two i'm sure. The oldest guy to break 100mph on a sport bike was 97. we got a long way to go.

I'm 43, I have an 06 ZX10R
