[Mittzy]

G'day Fellas,
I am 44 this year and had the Roadster fr nearly a year now (and love it) had a YZF600 ( R6) previously and Kwaka KLR600 prior to that and a Yam SR250. Riding since I was about 14.
I just LOVE IT!!!!!!

No Mitch, Hanso's just a baby. Even I'm older than him. Dennsell might be our (ie in Oz) senior member, although he behaves like someone even younger than you most of the time.

So I can wear the Geeza patch you sent me with Real Pride then Richard

Tell Hanso to show us both a little more respect in future

I just turned 55 and 40 years riding, 12 different Bikes and the Rocket is the best of class, hands down. Most of my riding has been open class desert hare scrambles for 25+ years on Husky's , but got old and fat. My street bikes have been GPZ 1100(3), GS1200 and 1 Goldwing.

I just went to my first bike rally in Elko,NV and met up with my first other Captain in the wild. First thing we talked about was the worst thing of owning a Rocket is where do you go from here? Everything else was a lot slower and less powerful ride…. Big time Bummer awaits there.... We laughed at all of the Harley people with their big 109 ci rebuilds stories.

I ride over 7,500 miles a year on the Rocket. Anyway, I have a real world wake up call each year of Rocket ownership. Every spring to tune up my riding skills, I take the STARS Advanced course on my Rocket (4 times now). The year that I fail to pass that, is the one I will have to think about moving on. Until that day….Ride on…..

Bloody hell Richard you are only just over 5 mth's older so who you calling a baby, Ruzzel from the other site is 73 and still going thru puberty So yeah you and I are both still only kids while Dennis just approaching puberty and Mitch is still in nappys

63 next month. Just two girls left in the garage, the R3 and a TBS. Owned and rode about every brand known since being on two wheels since about age 7. Strange thing is, I have never owned or even ridden a BMW. Maybe that is why they never wave when I go by......

I think its only fair that these guys below post their ages. The rest of us posted ours. I thought hiding your age was a "woman thing" anyways?

Are you afraid you might be called:
******y Old Fart!
Geezer!
You old bag of bones!
Fuddy duddy!
Gramps!
Graybeard!
Fossil!
Has-been!
Coffin dodger!
Ancient!
Pensioner!
Codger!
Over the hill!
Pop!
Old timer!
Grouch!

What do guys think that posted you age? lol

Disclaimer: I might have added you by mistake

I personally don't think age plays much of a factor in our bikes.
Some may write it off as "mid-life crisis" that's 'why"
we ride to biggest, baddest, bike on the planet.
To try to regain our mis-spent youth or some other such nonsense.
Me, I think we only bought it now, because they didn't make it any earlier than they did.
I remember growing up and 1200 cc's was the biggest you could go, so I did.
Now they went bigger, so we did too.
I look at it like this,
you're only as old as you feel.
Some mornings getting out of bed I feel my age,
climb on board the Rock and I "feel" 18 again.
So maybe there's some truth in that mid-life crisis thing after all,,,
who knows, who cares, I just want to ride it,
not figure out why I want to ride it.

People don't think i'm old when they see me riding..boy do they get a shock when i take off my helmet

This is the 31st anniversary of my 29th birthday. My first motordriven 2 wheeler was a minibike with a 3.5 hp brigs. then I moved up to the big times with a SEARS 2cycle. Riding the Rocket is nothing short of WOW. I've had Indians,HDs, sport bike,s but love to just travel and the Rocket fills all that I need now. I do love pulling off the helment at ralleys of sport bikes, the age factor is great
