Roll Call: Who's over 40?

[NM_KDX200]

I'm just curious as to how many of us KDX'ers are 40 or over.....
I'm 42.

 

[duke]

46 and heading towards 47 at the speed of light.

 

[2wheeler]

Just turned 40 and wishing I could ride more!!!!

 

[louis]

I know MARKSHARP is way over 40.

 

[Knobbyjake]

49 the end of Jan. If I had known I was gonna live this long I would have taken better care of myself when I was younger! :p

 

[Dapper]

52 years young

 

[seancza]

I'm 39 (for the fifth time) :coocoo:

see if you old guys can figure out the math on that

Merry Christmas

 

[tax cutter]

47 and brand new granddad. She's gonna call me Pappa Wheelie!

 

[DirtRoller]

same as Duke... 46 and a half.
What you say I didn't hear you? Where the hell did I leave my keys? Sir can you read the 2nd line down from the top?
Yeah, and I have that broken switch thing when I ride... you know the one where you have to take a leak every five minutes.

 

[louis]

53 today.

 

[WLKDX]

Just made 40, they said it wouldn't happen!

 

[prk03]

prk03 is 52. Had rotator cuff repair 4 months ago. KDX looks very lonely. :coocoo: :coocoo:

 

[duke]

There seems to be a common thread here:MIDDLE AGE! Dirt bike riding is like life in that things come full circle. You start off on small mini bikes (Taco!) graduate to the mighty Hodaka and then venture off to the world of the mighty 250/500's, only to return to the more sensible world of the bantam weight bikes, in this case the KDX. See my post on Confirming that Less is More, about whcih I go about learning that the addage of more isnt always better is certainly applicable to dirt biking

 

[dddford]

51 and my teenage boys can't keep up to me

 

[GS]

I'm 48.5 and my teenage boys can't even begin to keep up with me!!! (Kinda' newbies)They can't quite grasp the concept that when the trail gets rougher you simply open the throttle more and surf the tops of the boulders.
Ha!

 

[dirtisgood]

43 in feb. and my 9yr old can jump over my head, but the woods freak him out :aj:

 

[driftwood]

43 and counting. With the joy of riding and looking forward to riding ... I'll live to 150 !

 

[marksharp]

Happy Bday louis

Happy Birthday louis, and yes of course I'm way over 40, quite a bit over 50, and we can both still keep up with your son the rocket, especially if things get tight. May we all die with the front wheel in the air and smiling like there's no tommorrow.

 

[McRider]

I'm 63 and have been riding for 42 years......My riding buddy is 67 and also rides a KDX, but is not on this board. Riding after retirement is great. You can pick the best weather and riding conditions and ride during the week when there is no one else out. Much safer.

 

[Rhodester]

Happy Birthday Louis!!! I'll be 48 on New Years day......I can't believe it. I don't feel that old.

 

[Jackpiner57]

47 here, and I (emphasis) made it up the powerline hill at the Ammonoosuc River Turkey Run! Take that you young guns!

 

[RBSOB]

Almost 44 and if this is middle age, bring it on! It is no wonder why I enjoy this forum so much....lots of common threads. Jim G

 

[domino dave]

KDX is the perfect bike for my age ..... 51

 

[NM_KDX200]

I feel a LOT better now- thanks!! It's great that you 50 year olds are still riding.

 

[mikdxer]

I'm 42 years old and just studded up one of my bikes to try some ice riding this winter.
