Hello all. I'm new to your forum, ride a 2000 929 (among other bikes). I use the 929 for daily commuting, sport touring, track days and general riding. Have 50K miles on it now. Here's a few pics of it ( and me ):

regards, George

Welcome George! Nah, you aren't the oldest. ----------
<----------- Look! And there's at least one member here in his 70's.

You picked the right sight for good info, humor, getting slammed, and just all around damned good folks!

Oh, forgot to explain the gnome thing. I'm 5' 6", and there are a couple of members shorter than that. So we put up with relentless, daily harassment.

Hey, George, I'm new around here too...and agree that it seems like a cool place to hang out........

Judging by those pictures, it looks like you need to hang out with a younger crowd. Perhaps ths place will rub off on you a little, and all your friends will think that you're a hip daddy-o......

You kidding. I think I need to start hanging out with him. He's in his 50s rides a sport bike and goes to track days. I hope to be like that when I reach that age.

I think its Smitty that's 74.

I'm with Bacchus at part of the group of short people (we've been called Liliputians, oompa loompas, little people, pretty much all that stuff) I'm 5'4" I might have the record of being the lightest person on here though, hovering around 117-118 pounds. So I get picked on a lot, but its all good.

It's good to see there's plenty of light hearted humor around here. I'm subbed to a couple of other bike lists, and sometimes those guys get
