This seems to be a place filled with fourty somethings. There are many acceptions to that. I know that the acception on the low end is probably around 6 years old, but... WHO IS THE OLDEST?

After a hard ride, I feel 86!

I'll be 42 in 3 more months, but I know of a few here older than moi.
Old is relative anywho. It's cousins to sore, tired, aching, and grouchy!:D

Interesting topic. I'd also like to know how old you were when you started riding. I'm 29 , and started riding when I was 7; unfortunately when I turned 16 I got sidetracked, license,girls,and all that new found freedom, and stopped riding until last year when I rediscovered my old passion for riding:cool:

It's not the model year, so much as the mileage, that gets you:silly:

Locked up and power sliding into 39..............

I'm only 42, but I've got a friend I ride with that's 67. He's in great shape and it gives me hope that I can ride another 25 years.

Our group includes a guy 55 who rides really well, he rides almost every weekend. His "little" bro rides too, but he's only 51. This guy loves big air,
it's very impressive.

I'm not that old, but there are a few in my riding club that I'm pretty sure are 55 or older. One in particular has a 5 or 6 year old grandson that is just starting to race.

Pokie is 60+ and still hauls ass. I think he's on the podium for this :)

i'm only 42, just a kid, but there is a guy who races enduros in his 60s & i know of a guy who races hs in the A class in arkansas in his 60's; he kicks butt, even beats his own grandkids. there's a guy in our club who's 66; he skydives down to the start of 1 of our races, takes off his 'chute, puts on his helmet, cranks his bike & races. he's not bad, either.

I’m 42. A friend’s dad used to race when he was in his 80’s and put some younger folk to shame. I hope to still be riding well into my 90’s, even if I need training wheels :confused: (hey Woodsrider, can I borrow yours? :p)

There sure are a bunch of us that are 42 :)

Looks like Pokie is the clear winner here. He has 3 years on me.

Ok, ktmBOY? I posted. Time for you to fess up.;)
