Well...I may be the oldest dude out here at 69. Will be 70 in April.
My R3 is Carpentered and I ride fast!...until I die!
I have been riding for 52 years and have ridden and owned almost every bike imaginable..
Benelli (1), Moto Guzz (3)i, Norton (2),. Triumph (2), Kawasaki (2), Yamaha (2), Honda (3), Harley (3), Boss Hoss (1) with many of these several different years and models. Probably 17 bikes overall with most having been modified for performance.
My Carpentered R3 is my only ride now....I love it!
