Your wife is retarded, but I guess that's a typical attitude for the Midwest where sportbikes are considered kids toys instead of legitimate transportation like they are here on the West (Best) Coast. I know a guy who's about 63-64 and has over 60K miles on his ZX10r.

Holy old thread, Batmand.

Hell, Tracy just turned 37.. he rides a Busa and a TLR... and occasionally my 1098. There's no such thing as too old, IMO...

No kidding, I already bought the bike, rode the bike, and killed the bike. LOL

i'm in my 40's and just got rid of my last sport. I'll have another in a year or two i'm sure. The oldest guy to break 100mph on a sport bike was 97. we got a long way to go.

I guess the 84 year old man that brought his bike to the track should have been told he exceeded some magical age limit.

I best tell Schwantz he can't come out and ride either...

Fuck that.

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.
