What is the average age of this group ?

I'm 42, been riding since I was 5, mostly dirtbikes, had an 81 GS1100 for my first street bike.

I've always rode dirtbikes and still do but I only have about 6 or 7 seasons on the street.

Just bought my '78 XS650 about two months ago.
 
I'm 42...... Have had only one other bike and it was a '83 KDX200 woods bike.... I have been more in to cars and drag racing... I got a 1965 Impala that I built a few years back and I really enjoy driving it around........I have been wanting to do a bobber project for a while and finally got a 1975 XS650. Not going to cut up though... I will find another to sacrifice....

I'm 69 years old and have been riding for over fifty years---I remember my first bike well because I pushed it a half-mile for every 10 miles I rode, it was a flathead , tank shifted Harley---I'm having fun with my street tracker modded up XS and that's all that counts---To old to push
 
38 here. Been on some form of 2 wheeled, motorzied transport since the age of 2 or 3 when I was sat down and taken for a ride on a Honda Trail 70. Ridden a multitude of bikes since then but have been without my own since 2001
 
41 on July 1st. Been riding 24 years? First bike was a Honda Shadow 500, thought about buying another one (they have seem to gone up in value since I bought mine???) to relive "that" moment... next project after MoneyPitXS will be a Moto Guzzi... something different.. never owned any bike except Japanese.
 
24 years young here. Got my license this year so only been riding a few months. But I foresee many years on two wheels ahead of me!
 
I'm 48 here ...been on bikes most allf my life...cars are an equal love of mine, and in the winter it's sleds......I built my bobber this last winter and have been having a blast on it, even though it is not even painted (still raw steel) yet.....my other bike is an '04 HD RoadKing with many miles of pavement under it...

I'm 30 years old....I started riding dirtbikes and 4-wheelers at 9, I had a 91 CBR600, and a 96 CBR600. I started my fist build last year. I am currently building a 1974 XS650 chopper, and I just bought a 1978 ( I think) CB750 roller that I am going to build into a Cafe Racer style bike after the XS is done. I am being selfish with pics right now... at least until I'm a little closer to done then I will start posting them up.

Thanks Allroy :thumbsup:
 
27 Years old. I goofed off on dirt bikes and quads as a kid. just like everyone who grew up in the midwest.

I started actually riding around 7 years ago. I got a 1982 Honda 200t twin-star and wrenched on it until it purred. i am a woodworker, so i know how to use tools. but metal and machines are still a mystery to me. doing my best to learn as much as i can. I love to know how to do things for myself and would never dream of paying someone to fix my bike for me.

after my first bike i got really into dual sporting when i lived in Colorado. Now after a year without a bike after moving to seattle, i could not be more thrilled to be back on two wheels.
 
65 y/o here - just been riding when I can along the way - started at 17 with a Yamaha 50 cc cutaway - 37 mph max! That was while I was a college boy. Been with small stuff all along - Honda CB 160 - CB 175 - CL450 - even a Suzuki 120 when I was in the Army in El Paso in 1970. Got the 78 XS 650 a few years ago - having a lot of fun with it when I can keep it on the road - it has issues still, but we are getting there - as I become more knowledgeable about them.
 
19. i got my bike in june and i am workin on getting it road worthy, and will hopefully be riding in a week or 2. It's a 1978 xs650.
 
Already said G'day on another post, I'm 53 and have been riding m/c's since I was 13 and mini bikes as long as I can remember. My first bike was a 1967 Jawa but wasn't old enough to ride it on the road (but I did) , and my first "real" bike was a 1973 tx750 yamaha back in 1974. Took a 20 year break for family stuff and paying off debts and in 1995 got back into it again. I'm not lookin' back

21, Only been riding for a few months and can already tell that I won't stop until I die in my sleep and cause a horrific traffic accident. My first bike is a 75 xs650 entirely stock except the seat... which is extremely comfortable. Haha
