    Well since Malcolm Smith isn't a member of this board, that would still make you "the Oldest Fart". :lol:

    Maybe we could get you a Plaque or something to ease the pain??? :shock:

    When I first got back into riding my back started hurting. I never go to the doctor but I decided , riding or doc. Fixed the back and have lost 21 lbs. Sure makes riding easier. :) Loaded the boat, jetski, motorcycles and guns. This is going to be a great weekend. Had to bring a friend to tow the other trailer. I hope all have a fun and safe weekend.

    Yup.. .similar deal here... Started riding again a little more than a year ago at the age of 43... after my son decided he wanted a CRF70.. and we agreed.

    How old is too old? No such number.... it's more about how you feel... and how you feel about riding...

    seems like a lot of us got away from it.. but we're back. Thought I was the only one as well. Glad to hear that's not the case.

    I only shoot cans. You know the joke. lol. Not sure if I really count as a liberal. Just not a conservative. :) I think I fall somewhere in the middle like most of the U.S. :)

    I am 30 years old and love riding. Of all the activities we do as a family, this is the only one that has included everyone, young and old. I think that is why it is so important to me.

    Welcome Fasst Fred. Where are you located? I am an old Taco rider myself. Still have my 1973 350 Pursang that I want to restore.

    42 and a full-time workin' mom, riding and racing off and on since '99. Hubby rode street since high school but just got his first dirt bike in March, finished his first race last night. He's hooked for good, and he's 55. I've only finished half the races I've entered, but I've learned how to crash well...

    Daughter's been riding since she was 7 (11 now), and her old XR50 is waiting in the shed for our 5 year old son to learn how.

    Like a lot of us, I wish I had discovered this kind of fun a lot sooner than my mid-30s. The older I get, the faster I could have gone back when I was young and immortal! We are loading up our bikes in the morning for a weekend of fun, too. Stay safe out there everyone!
