Looking at the graph and projecting 5 years into the future, the 61 to 70 group will have the longest finger. Hope I make it there.

Had I voted on the poll anytime before the end of last year (2011), I'd have voted <21.

Still slightly surprised that I'm in one of the least represented groups :/

Smells like vaseline and vapo-rub in here!!

27 here. Looks as though the poll is showing great knowledge should be passed down fluidly

Do your part, old fart, or we'll fill in your duck ponds

It is comforting to me to know that I am in the highest percentage bracket , so now I know that I'm not hanging out with kids Q: Does being old suck as bad as getting old?

Take comfort where you can, RB. Being old & getting old are two separate things, all in the mind. As I get older, somedays I feel my age, other days I don't, however, my mind always thinks I'm about 30 & is mighty pissed on those first type of days..

My brother just sent me a 1st Decade High School Reunion Photo book from a combined reunion last summer. As I looked though it, I was thinking "who are all these old people?". Then I read the names, and realized a bunch of them were in my class.

Haha, i had one of those moments recently when this balding old guy sparked my memory, ended up being an old class mate from primary school, {5 to 13 years old} we are the same age........

I thought it smelled more like Geritol and Ben-Gay with a hint of hemorrhoid cream...... Just realized it's me. Never mind.

You young'uns are pretty smart after all

You guys are kinda unique too, not many can say their bike is older than they are!

Yanno, I don't mind the age I am right now. All I want to do is go back to high school with my current knowledge for about a month. There were quite a few hotties I wanted to tag.

35 ... but I swear I turned 36 last year.
I did the math 3 times, even counted on my fingers.
Too old to care anymore, I guess.

+1 when I got out of high school is when I found out I was the most wanted rooster.

something about that...I had to do the math everytime when I was in my thirties too...now I'm 40 and it's pretty easy math

Must be something with age when you are in your thirties. When I was 33 I was talking to our Receptionist and told her I would be 34 the next day. She said no .. you will be 35 tomorrow. She was correct. I lost a year of my life that day

Jeez you weren't even alive when the "charlie don't surf" statement was made!

This an interesting economical/societal study in the making. If you have to wonder why these old bikes and parts are sky-rocketing in price is because the older we get the more disposable income we have to buy the things we want because we won't be around too much longer ideology. Not saying we're all going through a mid-life crisis but we may just want to relive some of our memories before we aren't able to.
