Topic: Possibly the youngest member?

[cbjunkie]

thought about naming my son the fourth - but changed my mind because of "ivy"...not that there's anything wrong with that of course - some may consider it quite a cool nickname, you for instance, but it just seemed too much like asking for the kid to have a nickname he didn't want...

maybe i'll change my mind if i ever HAVE a son 

[dusterdude]

rushoid,please forgive me but i must do this.is your last name do-right?

[Rushoid]

No, not Do-right, but would you believe you're not the first to ask? 

I'm not saying I like "Ivy" (they rarely call me that anymore really - usually it's "Bubba" or "Bubby" (don't know how that came about)) but when you're growing up, just about anything's better than Dudley. But, i'm an old man now and it really doesn't bother me anymore. Kinda proud of it, really. Not too many of us around (for obvious reasons). I figure if my dad, grandpa, and great-grandpa made it through, I guess I can too. Kinda like "A Boy Named Sue." I'm better for it.

FWIW, I'm NOT naming my son (fingers crossed) Dudley Pierce V !!!

HELLLPPPP! I'm a 17 year old, trapped in a 51 year old body!!! Of course there's one thing that you young guys need to know...we older guys KNOW stuff, ya' know? Oh, Ladies???!!!

At least I'm not the only one that feels like that...

I'm 22, riding a 27-year-old CB650. Wow, I didn't realize the bike was that old 'til this thread came up. I guess that would explain some of the problems I've had. Running good now, though!

IMHO you're not over the hill 'til you hit 55. Then it starts going down, and you're by no means done for!

My dad's 54 and my mom's 53, still raising an 8-year-old daughter (youngest of 9). I'm right in the middle.

One of the best pieces of advice my dad ever gave me was...."When you think you know how to ride
a bike is when it will kill you."

No pun intended, but those are words to live by...

Well I'm 47 and hadnt riden a bike since early 70s.  Always liked the Hondas and Kawasakis when I was younger.  Found a mothballed 74 550 for $200 spent several months and a few hundred more and now its in pretty good running order.  Plan to strip bike this winter to paint frame and other parts.  Right now it runs good but aint too pretty.  My wife enrolled me in a MSC for my birthday and it sure helped.  Had real good instructors that taught things I never would have thought about.  MSC should be a requirement for beginners and Im sure some experienced riders could benefit as well.
Met an older guy on a full dress Harley last week, he said he had a 550 when he was younger.  He said it WAS a good bike---I told him it still is.
young or old, experienced or beginner I think we all share the joy of riding and the challenge of keeping these beautiful machines on the road.
