Too old for a sport bike? - Page 14

Heather's Dad · 03-13-2009, 11:31 AM

Always had a problem with the age thing when it came to motorcycles. My parents told me i was to young and now my siblings tell me I am too old... Some body is full of ..it.

In 05 I was 54 and bought a 04 Z1000. The dealer never said anything about my age. I was too big for a 636 though.

Yeah my wife is full of it. I bought the bike anyway.

Previous. No new bike in sight yet. I may just sit this season out and continue to work on the wife. Maybe next season if I'm lucky. I want another bike so bad but if I came home with a bike right now she would literally cut my balls off. No bullshit.

Well...in that case...best to lay low for a while.

Maybe you should "buy" a new wife. Just kidding.

I don't think a husband or a wife should dictate what the other can or cannot do. Erik and I aren't like this and I have to say it works pretty well. I believe it eliminates a lot of unnecessary arguments. Though this is mainly in part to us having separate checking accounts/bills.

Good Luck on changing her mind.

To the original Q - I battled this same thing myself, I felt (still feel it a little) too old for a sportbike. I bought a V-Star, which for a cruiser is a nice bike. It was funny enough to ride, but my heart was never into it.

I've since sold the cruiser and am back on my true love, my R6.

Maybe down the road, I'll do the cruiser thing again.

For the record, I am 40.

Wait.. what? 40?? From all the pictures I've seen of you, I would have never guessed you were older than 30. Seriously.
