Hey fellas, I am 32. I am saving up money for my first quad, hopefully by early next year I can purchase one. I am working and saving up so I can go and lay all the cash down and have it all paid off immediately. Possibly by February or March I will be smiling hopefully. Just remember,- "Once you are over the hill, you pick up Speed"! I have a insulated sleeve that slides over my bottle of beer that keeps it cold that says this![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Don't ask me what quad I am buying yet, because their is such a great selection out there, that I have to do some well thought out research, etc. Later.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

One more old fart....I am 55 as of this month and just got into 4x4's in July. I have plenty of hours on 3 wheelers years ago, I think the 4's are much more fun and safer to boot.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. I can't wait till the snow fly here in Ohio so I can continue the fun on 4 wheels. I am glad to see this thread as I am the only guy my age riding around here.

I'm 39, but feel like I'm still 25, even though I probably act like I'm 10. I'll ride until I can no longer throw my leg over the seat.

Farty three here; the rig is almost as old - it's an 84 TRX200 in poor shape, but hey - I'm no better than it is! As long as the wheels stay on, I'm fine. Now if I just squeze in some time to ride it before the gas goes stale.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

35 years young here,in my stupid years ( 20's) rode a lot of those 2 stroke rice rockets,had a ball too.The past couple of years decided I wanted to slow down and look at all the stuff I use to fly by.99 350 4x4 Big Bear does just fine for that.Bought my son a Blaster a couple of weeks ago and he fouled his first plug the other day,I couldn't have been prouder.I also have a 200x atc so I guess I'll light a fire under my a** and get out there and start playing with him.

A meager 38 here, soon to change that in January. But if you asked my wife I'm sure she'd say I was 12! I have only broken my patella and collar bone to date, So for that I'm grateful. Being young and dumb is not a right, just an act of foolishness. But I'm not slowing down till I can't pick myself back up. See ya around on the trails and track![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Im 34, with a body feeling like i'm 50. Broke a few, well, 10 anyway, and have torn out a knee, as well as a back, and still i keep on tickin. They say your as young as you feel. Well, I feel 50 till i get on my 2002 grizzly, just bought it after selling my stage 2 warrior. just couldn't take the abuse from the warrior. guess that means i am officially in the club. I do feel 15 on the grizzly though. Still able to go 200 miles in a day, all out for that matter. We need to organize a broken down or older man ride once. What we might lack in all out speed, we make up for in smarts and endurance, just ask the ladys, haha. It is soooo good to see when i am 60, i will still love it, so you slightly elderly men give me alot of hope, and just keep on keeping on!!!

Greetings,

Speaking of an older man ride, I once went out to Taskers Gap, VA for Jim Cowgill's Quads on the Rocks ride. I was amazed at the age profile of the participants. While there were a couple of 30 somethings, none were younger and most were in their 40s and 50s -- maybe even a few 60s. I mentioned it during a break and one guy said "yeah, we're just a bunch of old guys trying to have some fun before they make it illegal." They came from as far away as Alabama and most were well equipped with upscale tow vehicles (e.g. Lincoln Navigator). If Jim posts an annoucement for another ride, you might consider it -- well planned, well run and a good time for the over the hill bunch.

Hi, my name is Bob, and I'm an old .....

Well, I'm 41, but I just act younger. But the old bones jsut don't recover like they used too. But I ain't weak, or senile, or slow, and I sure as hell ain't scared. Cautious, maybe, wise, sometime, scared, never! Well, except when my wife.........
