| New Member No, unfortunately I don't have a Fireblade at least yet. I do have motorcycles though. The fever is strong enough though to read and learn about what I want or don't want want. Been riding nonstop, since 1968. | |

| Re: New Member '68? Are you an old fart, or did you start young?  Well, even if you were 3 when you started riding, that'd still make you an old fart (like me) around here.  |

| Re: New Member Well, I never though of myself as an old fart. Does being 53 make me one?  Thanks for the welcome. |

It's like a fine wine, it gets better with age right?  BTW..... I'll be 40 next year so I'm trying to tell myself that I won't be an old fart  | |

| Re: New Member Well, I can seriously and very honestly say, that I do and CAN do anything that I did when I was 1/2 this age. Age is a state of mind, which of course can affect your body (or the other way around), but I like toys. I love to play and play hard!(wish there was more time to play!) I gave up dirtbikes and riding enduros(XR350R) last year because of land closures, not from desire!  If you quit playing...........I don't want to think what comes after that! I truly though do feel sorry for those that think over 40 (or 50 and even 60) is old. It can be old, if you want it to be. Hmmmm time to take the old 750 K3 out for an eveing ride, there is this road not far from here that has a few turns and ............... |

| Re: New Member Yes, I just got back. As I was grabbing my helmet the ph. rang and a friend said there were bikes all over, in a town about 12 mi. away. So I rode over in a hurry,  to see what was going on. I met some folks that I hadn't seen since the first 900 Kaw came out. I ended up riding around 50 mi. tonight. No, that is not allot of miles, but it was great to be out. The cool evening felt good with leathers and helmet. |
