BEWARE... If your bike is a 74 or earlier!

It is quickly approaching its 40th birthday or is already "over the hill".

I am 6 years older and also the less reliable of the pair

I bought mine because we were "born" the same year 1971.
But it's older as the date on the sticker says Aug 71 and I was born in Nov.

I was born 22 years before my 72 CB750. Does that make me a cradle robber ?

Roughly the same for me but I didn't get riding her until 85.

The bike & I both have a few creaking parts, not sure who is the loudest

I am older and younger.

I'm not sure they made bikes when I was born. If they did Jesus would have used one instead of making that long ass walk with that big piece of wood. I miss that guy. He had a great sense of humor.

How bout a 64 year old bike

I got my drivers license the same year she was made. But alas, I did not meet her until the early 90s.

The percentages are shocking. I would have never guessed it.

I am older than my CB550 by a few years.

Does that make my '75 400 a cougar then? Being that it's more than 10 years older than me.

38, possibly 39 based on the build date.

oops, sorry, that made you feel older didn't it?
I might not have caught it if I wasn't 37

heffay · « **Reply #14 on:** November 12, 2013, 07:14:42 AM »

My cb350f is 41 years old based on build date of 9/72.
The cb400f is 37 years old based on build date of 10/76 but has a 75 fuel tank.
So, while I'm a few months older than the 400f, and the 350f is several years older than I am, the older tank is the tie-breaker.
I chose that I am younger than my CB "collection", and even outside of motorcycles, I do have early onset hoarding disease.

i'm older than my 550 and i have only one CB. guess that makes me older than dirt but at least i don't have hoarding disease.

My bike's got me beat by about 7 years. I've always had a thing for older women!

Of course old farts rule in the poll. All the youngsters are are out shooting crack and snorting pool.

My newest is an 82 750, only 6 years older than I. My newest SOHC is a 78, has a decade on me.

I'm 40 years older than my 6 1/2 but only 15 years older than my Ariel.
I guess that means I'm a sugar daddy to loose young motorcycles.
Bil the demon.

The newest vehicle I own is 9 years older than me...
