50 here. Been riding for 1 year. Rode before that about 30 years ago on small stuff up to a Kawasaki H2 (750 2-stroke). Scared myself and gave it up when i got married. Once I saw a new Triumph twin I said I have to ride again. Bought a Speedmaster after a lot of talking with my wife about being sane on a bike now. Loving it!

I'm 60, been riding on the street for 46 years. The first year I wasn't licensed, but I got a job to pay for my bike so my Dad let me ride it. We lived in a small farming community (3000) so it was no big deal back then. Would be a big deal, ticket, and probably confiscated ride now.
