20 miles west of Chicago. | Hell Crawford, when I started flyin' they didn't even have whiz wheels, had to do it all in your head, usin' nuthin' but an Elgin wristwatch. I give up flyin' though...never did trust them airplanes with only one wing. How old am I? Let's see here....You've heard Saint Peter? He had the locker next to mine in high school. Shucks, if I'd known how to fish I could have been an apostle. |

Baltimore, Md | I'm 59 ( the big 6-0 hits mid September and I am unafraid and moving forward). I've owned bikes small and large since I was 17 and even rode the dangerous streets and mountain roads of Bogota Colombia in the late 1980's. Beautiful riding country, but you had to keep your head on a swivel. I haven't yet purchased my Vision as I'm moving to a new home soon, but I started in the days of the Honda 50 (actually I had a Dream 150 if you remember those) and moved steadily up through the ranks, with my last being an '88 Gold Wing which I sold in 1993. I have retired early and am ready for my next bike - the Vision. Only the test ride left to go and I can't imagine that spoiling my plans. Prior to deciding on the Vision, I was shopping another new Wing or a Yam. Roadliner. I know, more than "what's your age", but I felt like sharing...sniff. |

Brighton, TN | lowtone9 - That seems a stretch with no pic to back it up. I see your in Bama, I may have to get verification on said age and lunch on you for making me drive down there. I may even enlist the SongFan for witness and we both ride down. |

Brighton, TN | In your gallery something better, but I know I got you beat on the looks. Just ask my wife! Dude I just thought we were the youngsters, scroll back up and I have seen 33, 34, 34, 36. When I first got on here it was just me holding down the fort against the well seasoned veterans of time. Just glad to see I'm getting a little back up. I would have never dreamed a bunch of old buzzards would be interested in a Star Trek type of bike, just thought it would be too much of a stretch for them, you know set in their ways. I thought they would have been give me the classic HD bike. This bike appeals to a very wide spectrum of folks, I've been amazed. I have yet to get something to look naughty and perch upon my bike, I've had something angry with me back there, but then I digress. |

GRRRRRRR! The Poopckn is talkin "old buzzards" for the well seasoned, good lookin, matured, yes, veterans of time guys here. He is talkin smack like we know nothing, didn't recognize the V as the Bentley of Bikes. The majority of ages posted attest to the 50's grabbin this new invention, and futuristic life style. If I wasn't so far away from Tenn I would lead a parade to his chkn farm, bring my own chicks and show him beauty and the beast. Did he say "old buzzards"-- I better calm down now, have some coffee and rethink who this guy is. Chandler Tom, I know you, so no offense to your pics, nice! GRRRRRR! |

Brighton, TN | Ahhh! It is so good to see the SandCamelJim still has some spunk let in him. He said "GRRRR!" I thought all you knew was HMPHRF! Yes, he said "Old Buzzards!" Why you ask, cause you can't hang with the Young Stud a Muffin, but I'll definitely let you be the beast. Then again, I haven't seen you in your latest T-shirt, you sexy Secretary You!
Waitress another shot of expresso for friend that timehasnotbeensonicetoo! His pumper is a little low on the Go-Juice and he is trying to get into that new Group - WHIZ PILOT. No it is not a new pop band reality show. It is only for those seasoned via time to be able to pull into EVERY facility and hang out while they take turns in the facility and swap stories.
This is a small breakdown of their daily ride:
9 am KSU (Kick Stands Up) at local IHOP. Gotta have coffee, food, and restroom.
9:30 Restroom break
11:30 KSU again.
12:00 Pull into favorite wing or burger shop for food, hottie waitresses (eye candy), RESTROOM
2:00 KSU again
2:30 Restroom Break
4:30 KSU again
5:00 Pull into Steakhouse for Veggie steak, Restroom, more EYE candy.
7:00 KSU Depart headed to house. Can't be out to late, gotta get my 9 hours and my weather watching in. Oh yeah, need the Restroom.
To all members, please feel free to add your own restroom stops. And easy on the coffee, we would like to get in at least the official 100 mile run, without having to take up another day.
Notice did not need fueling stop, didn't ride that far. DJ did say I lived tooooooo FFFFAAAARRRR! Hey DJ Might take you a couple of weeks but they do have restrooms the entire way between you and I.

20 miles west of Chicago. | I resent the "Old Buzzard" appellation (NO, that's not the mountain range in the East...). I much prefer "Geezer" or my Indian name, "Ancient One Possesesed of Much Wisdom"... though the thing about frequent bathroom stops may have some validity. |

I`m 87.
Is that in dog years or miles per day? 
Me? I'm approaching 4 bathroom visits per day. I know that's sad, but I'm a heavy drinker.

Edmonton, AB | 37 for me. Looks like I'm also one of the young'uns here as well. Right now i feel like a Kid in the week before Christmas, waiting to unwrap my Vision that is sitting in a crate at the dealer. 2 inches of Snow last night  but still not sure I am going to be able to wait for the due date. When the roads dry up and the temps start to rise I may just have to move up the delivery date. |

, FL United States | OK Mudge. Fess up! I'm 61 yrs 7mos & don't care who knows how old I really am.
Did a Patriot Guard Riders mission today for a WWII veteran who passed last week. It was aprx 150 mile roundtrip in 25-30 mph crosswinds. My Vis was delivered 11-17-07 & I have 5650 miles to date. While it's not "Iron Butt" miles like varyder, it ain't bad for a "geezer"  |

Brighton, TN | Okay, already, I refer gladly to geezers. Where I come from that is water shooting out of the ground - geezer. So what we had were buzzards and since you boys like to fly, I just thought it kinda fit. But apparently I was wrong. GEEZER PILOTS, maybe I make a new patch for a bunch of special someone's. Then again GEEZER PILOT would have to go to your significant other's (SO's) because we all know whose piloting you around. Unless you are by yourself, well then it's back to your teenage years.
