Who is the oldest rider here?

[JuliusPleaser]

Wow! For once I'm NOT the old fart. At 41, I might even be below median DRN age. :cool:

 

[FLBob]

54- first enduro '70 or '71' on a AT125 (that would be Yamaha). Very little riding for about 20 years, got stupid and thought work was more important, back at it two years ago but prefer hare scrambles now. No plans to stop soon.

 

[oldx]

65 ride Desert with 3 Grandsons 1=26 1=19 1= 12 years old I now have to chase the 26 and the 19 year old.

:think A few more comments like that and you won't make it to 43. :eek:

 

[Okiewan]

Looks like Pokie lost the top spot! He's not 65 :) For some reason, I don't think he minds losing in the case :confused:

 

[ktmboy]

Well 89r', you posted, but you left out your age. Is it that number on your avatar?:p Well, a promise is a promise: 'ol ktmboy is 44!

ktmboy. That would make me 57. My friends tell me that I will never be as old as I look.:scream: Waddya think they mean by that????:confused:

I talked to a friend/mentor of mine yesterday. A guy named Danny Macias. He is not a DRN member, but, he just turned 80 and rides his CR250 in the local forests about twice a month. I have another friend that is about 78 and comes by on his dual sport about once a month.

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?

tonyd75 (75)

I was a lot younger when this thread first started. How in the heck did this 8 year old thread revive? :coocoo:

 

[Papakeith]

no kidding, I was just starting my thirties when this one got going. Now I'm . . . just starting my thirties :whoa:

 

[RM_guy]

No kidding. I'll be celebrating my 21st anniversary of my 29th birthday this year ;)...and I'm still riding:)

2009 will be my first season of dirt riding since 1990, and I'll be 44 in July.

That would be Tonyd75 at 75 years old that bumped this thread. 75, very nice indeed Tony! Coming to 50, it gives me some hope!!! Where did I leave my oatmeal?

 

[IndyMX]

I'll be 21 again on Wednesday. Didn't start riding dirt until I was 39

 

[wardy]

[VintageDirt]

Someone should resurrect an old thread at least once a month. Sort of a "vintage" DRN, if ya know whadda mean.

 

[Kawi4life]

And I was feeling bummed out about being 31....lol. :yikes:

My brother just retired from 3rd ACR, based out of Ft. Carson. He and I went into the service at the same time, in 1986. He went Army, I went USAF, and got hooked on bikes while overseas. I did 4 1/2 yrs. and he did 22. However I don't think either of us could ever do 62 pushups... Well, maybe him. Certainly not me! However I'm workin' toward it. I'm now doing 40 situps in 60 seconds, and 28 pushups in sixty seconds & that's my best so far. No way will I ever be able to run 2 miles in 15:30 ever again though - My knees are pounded down. You must have some good genes in those joints!

 

[Pushin50]

Gotta change my screen name from Pushin50 to Pushed Past 50.

 

[XRpredator]

I guess since I was 86 in 2001 I'm 94 now.

We're talkin' age, not height, Sasquatch...

I agree. this is the second one I've chimed in on and just like the other one...it's good stuff!

Kudos to all you guys man. I'm 31 and I hope to say I'm 75 and still riding someday. I grew up a drummer since the age of 4 and have always had that dirtbike bug in me. When I turned 14 my parents gave me the choice of a new drumkit(which I needed) or a new rm80. I chose the drums cuz I was one hella drummer at that age. Rode other peoples dirtbikes...and didn't get my own till I was 26! Late starter and LOVING it!!! I'll never go back. Nothing gets me more than the sound and smell of a two-smoke firing up on a cool spring morning. it's the best. But so is playing for a crowd of 20,000 people!
