53 and I've been here since the beginning of this forum and a bit of the Greenspun days before that.
One day I'll focus on my SOHC4s.

You've all taught me so much.

67 ;) As a teenager in the 70's I had 5 different Honda's. Got married in 1980 and started a family and was out motorcycles completely for over 20 years. Then in 2009 ran across a 1976 CB750  and it rekindled my love for these old Honda's. Been a member of this fine family for 15 years!

 I'm closing in on 72, still want a nice original bike but a custom with more horsepower is a goal also. Yes, they are different bikes.

 Since I retired only the container is getting older. Inside I still want to pull a wheelie.

75 just started on 76 a couple of weeks ago.  As an "Old Timer" told me many years back, "If I had known I would have lived this long I would have taken better care of myself".  Been on something motorized with two wheels since about age 8, I have no idea how many, the only thing I can say with absolute certainty, I have never owned a BMW.  I have no idea why that is.......

Me neither. Funny BMW story. 25 years ago, I worked for a really good guy. He was the VP of Distribution for SEARS Canada Inc. French Canadian, out of Quebec. One Monday morning, at our usually scheduled weekly Manager’s Meeting, he starts telling us he’s up for a new Company Car. Much discussion and we discover he’s narrowed it down to an Audi, or a BMW. Knowing I’m a car guy, he asks for my opinion; “Carol, get the Audi. Only Arseholes drive BMWs” Too bad he says ; “I ordered the BMW on Saturday!” Fortunately he had a sense of humour!

For years afterwards, whenever he drove by me in that car, I’d always get the finger! It always startled whoever I was with and made me laugh out loud.

I had CBX in Czech.  Loved that bike.

Anyway.  I am 60 and my first was - 1989 - CZ250, two stroke.  Replaced it with the CBX in 1995.

Just turned 75, riding since I was 16, started on a 1965 Super Hawk, away from bikes from about 1975 to 2004 then bought a ST1100 for our 30'th wedding anniversary. That got me really into bikes again, especially  SOHC 4's plus other Hondas. The collection stands at 18 now. It's an addiction as many here know.

I'm 65yo and since 2017 my best friend from highschool and I have been resurrecting dead bikes. We've done at least 30 bikes and we've kept 12 plus a Honda TRX 350 Rancher, although we need to get rid of a few of them.

I started riding in 1980 on an 80' CB 650 Custom. I had to stop riding in 97' when I broke my back the first time and was riding an 84' VT 500 Ascot that I sometimes wish I still had. I got back to riding in 2016 when my uncle gave me his 84' VF 700S Sabre.

I've also never owned a BMW. 8)
