Too old for a sport bike?

Hmmm... took the MSF and bought my baby Ninja 2 years ago just after turning 43. I guess I missed the too old memo, too.

Ever heard the saying...You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing!

Buy what you want, not what someone else wants.

I'll be 43 this year, going from a VTX to an FZ1 and when I can afford a second bike it'll be an R6 or a supermoto to hooligan on

I used to pit next to a guy named Doc Brown when I raced vintage bikes.

He was in his sixties back then. He fucking terrorized the 250 class on a TZ 250. The guy was unbeatable.

He also had an AARP sticker on the back of his bike, just to add insult to injury.
