I don't feel old at all but as I was 53 and a few months old in April I'm probably middle aged.  So lets hope I hit 106 and a few months  :lol:

51 with two son's in their early & mid 20's - Four year old Grand son & a second (bump) due in September. Plenty of aches and pains from earlier bumps and bangs but mostly from now having an office job & having very little time to get much exercise I think, hmmm really need to change that, but mind still thinks I'm 21 which I'm hoping not to change just yet  :laugh:

Very please to be in the same bracket as 45 year old's tho  :cheers:

My story is. 64 yrs old. First bike at 8. First road registered at 16,Ariel 500 Red Hunter, superb bike. So many since, the best? Yeah its in my shed at moment.The worst, CR250 Elsinore and 850 Commando. Any bike better to ride than 14, my old Ducati Darmah, many mods over 15 yrs, 80 bhp on dyno. Just a brilliant machine. Loved maintenance but could make me smile. Hard to describe its personality.

Haha well what can I say! I'm always riding something :rofl2:
The way I see it.
I know people about my age and older and there only after having babies. I don't envy them with nappies and sleepless nights!
While mine are able to pretty much look after themselves.
I'll be that 40 year old in the nightclubs since I didn't get a chance to in my 20's :clapping:

So nearly four years on from my original comment and very little has changed, ache like hell some days which I still put down to lack of decent exercise. I did get into walking everyday but that subsided during winter which I intend starting again, very surprising how it helped with both physical & mind set

Grand Kids are now eight and three, I'm 55 which these days I'm told isn't old and is just as well because I still become 21 at times  :whistling:

My body hit 70 in March,. but it has required some mods in the last 5 years.
1 x Titanium left hip.   1 x Right knee Stripped and cleaned out and rebuilt.
1 x 2nd toe on right foot Drilled pinned and fused after 5th medic found it had been dislocated for 3yrs , first 4 looked at same x rays etc but said nothing wrong . Now pain free but Nerve is dead.Wide awake during opp and watched it being done  :onya: 
My Brain has not yet caught up with body , it still only 50 !
Some people say you should not be riding a bike at your age you should be sat on sofa watching the
Television ........No Thanks   :thumbs_down:
