Hi mick welcome to BCF. If your really 72 and still riding a sports bike my hat is off to you, I'm 33 and find the buggers uncomfortable.

Nope - I'm pretty sure he knows his own age looking at his profile Wink

Lots of riders still riding in their 70's - Ted Simon did his 2nd RTW trip, unsupported, in his 70's Smile

Welcome! Ignore the bout of teenagers we seem to be have joining recently, they spout a loud of rubbish!

Which side of the pond do you prefer? (I assume that side since you're still there!)

Crikey, Mick, you're even older than MY mum, lol
Nice one.
I take it the "37" in your handle means the year you were born, then.

I went to somewhere in Oregon years ago, called Coos Bay.
Oregon was gorgeous.

Cool Thumbs Up

Welcome to the Forums Mick and I've got to say I'm impressed with you still riding at the age of 71/72, can't fault you on that one... Thumbs Up

Pull your socks up and tighten your chin strap as it gets a little lairy at times Karma ...

What?? Why not??

How would you feel if some of the blokes said women should not be riding bikes cos it's a man's sport???

When you are involved in the rallying side of biking you will see bikers of all ages, still riding, still partying, still having fun. No ageism there... Thumbs Up
