I'm also 22, and my 650 is a year older than me :)

What can I say?  The more mature they are, the more attractive they get.  And that goes for motorcycles, too!

CHECK THE ANGLE OF THE DANGLE THATS THE REAL TEST
Logged
These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

I may be wrong, but isn't the angle of the dangle directly proportional to the heat of the meat?   8)

I can't figure out how to add my age to the poll, but I'm 28 going on 50 I've been told.  My bike, at least the motor and spirit, is about a year younger than I am, but it feels much more lively.

If it was that simple Viagra would look like a pocket warmer.  Not that I have seen Viagra, well I have seen it on TV,  not that I was really watching the commerical for info or anything ....I was just saying to the misses " Hey will you look at that" and she said "hey let me get a pen and jot down that number".   Well you can guess the rest.

Hmmnn, looks like I slightly missed the poll closing, but anyway, I'm 45, and have been riding for 36 years, and have owned CB750's (amongst others) for the last 27.

I almost don't remember a time now when I wasn't riding, and I've been infatuated with Jap "Muscle-Bikes" since I was a kid, so it's really more of a life-long passion, than just a fashion? Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Missed the poll too..... I am 49 and ride a F1, always wanted a CB 750 K but the F1 came a long.. Great bike except for the brakes!
Last bike I owned, immediately prior to this was a 2 year old Yamaha XJR 1300, way too fast, but the brakes were incredible.

hey quail... hope you don't mind... i reopened the voting on this poll as it was only set for a certain amount of time.  figured to get a larger sample would be a more accurate experiment.   :)

I emailed him a couple of months ago Steve because I was missing him (in a manly kinda way, of course!) and he replied that he's been busy doing a lot of missionary stuff (no, not that kinda missionary stuff, ya sicko's, ha ha!) but he still looks at the site from time to time. ;D

Just about squeezed into the 22-30 category though I'm 30 in Nov.... :'(

Been riding since I was 16 but only mopeds and scooters until I was 22ish and got the CB350F. I now have the CB and a 250 Yamaha majesty scooter so I'm riding a little more than Ihad been for the last few years!!
