I started out on dirt bikes 35 yrs ago, and I'm glad the 4 wheelers have come along. To be honest I don't know if I could put 100 miles of trail ridding on my old SL350 anymore.

77, Heck I wasn't even born yet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Hey I graduated high school in 77 too and let me tell you I can tell it the past few weeks after I rolled my Magnum going down a hill. My body still aches but I am ready to get after that same hill again.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

A moment in time is a moment in time it does not matter if you are going 90 mph with your hair on fire or you are sitting back drinking a cold one. The most important thing is to make sure you are enjoying it. BIG BAD SCRAMBLER I bought BUBBA so that I could eat BANCHEES for lunch. I have several friends that say there is nothing you can do to a POLARIS to make it keep up with a banchee. I haven't see much of them lately. They seem to be avoiding me for some reason. I don't know why.

 

Well.............i'll graduate in........2006 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

PENNYLESS -
Remember, you don't stop riding because you get old,
You get old because you stop riding!

 

Graduated in 81 and I agree that quads are great - a full day of riding my dirt bike kicks me in the a$$. It's fun to do both. And yeah, it's fun to ride with the young guns and then whip the helmet off and watch their faces [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Have fun and ride often!

 

class of 72. been riding since 1964. can still give the kids a run for their money. i fool em too, till i take off my bifocals and remove my helmet! hehe

yes there are many highly experienced riders here. if you search for age, you'll find a coiple threads where ppl give their ages. a real eye opener. PLus, you can usually tell by the way they write.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself raptor, I also graduated HS in 72, started riding motorcycles in the 60's.
