is there a law against dying
Will be soon enough to insure you've paid enough taxes into our corrupt system.  >:( But there are plenty of laws about how you die currently.

Haha Cal, heaven forbid......but if the worst happens they'll keep you on life support so big brother can keep his clutches on the purse strings.  ::) Poor taste I agree!

Recently a friend of mine posted some crash vid and although I rarely open that crap I didn't think he'd have sent something of the like. It was a no helmet crash extravaganza. Jesus, wear your bloody helmets guys.

Tim. 47. About 8-10 years ago I thought it would be cool and cheap to get a cb750. I had no idea what was going on with them and the cafe craze at the time. 50+ cb750's later I have a KO, couple k1's and a k2 race replica.

I'm 40. 

I think I was 27 when I first joined the Greenspun version of the SOHC4 forums.  Single, no kids, and not a care in the world. 

Damn...

I'm emotionally about 14, according to the wife.

In dog years I'm about ... sheesh I dunno but it's in the hundreds.

When I first wake up in the morning and all my various old race crash aches, surgeries and miscellaneous sports injuries are yelling, "Hey doofus, remember me, HAHAAHAA,"  then I'm about 90 or so.

On the calendar, it's like the previous poster... a ripping spry ubermale specimen of ladyheart-melting magic at 57.

First ride was age 10.  Got my permit at 15.5. ... Have ridden as close to every day as possible since then.

I think a tougher question for all of us more... "experienced" riders would be, "HOW MANY MILES HAVE YOU RIDDEN IN YOUR LIFETIME SO FAR?"

I have a 1976 CB550F that I bought three months ago.  It is in the garage/shop with the 1978 KZ650 and the 2013 CB1100.

I will be 65 in two days!

A fairly spry 46 (when I get enough sleep...)

Started riding when I was 8 (Yamaha GT80), and have never been without a bike since... Got my license as soon as I could. First street bike: Suzuki Katana 600 (put over 80,000 km on that bike) and then a gen1 SV650 (lovely bike to ride). I have a Yamaha TT-250R for where I work overseas; gets me where I need to go! And now I've got my dad's '76 750K. Sobering to think I'm older than it, especially when I consider the worn parts... But, hey, there's a good chance it will outlive me in the long haul!

I'm 41 this year.  Bought my 550k in '94.  At the time it was all I could afford, what I really wanted was a crotch rochet.  A couple of years later, I saw a GB500 and fell in love with the cafe idea.  It was the cheaper but cool alternative to paying omage to an RC166!

Bike has just over 13K on the clock and runs great!
