This forum has gone for 15 pages on the S3 forum.

I'm 57 will be 58 this year in August this year, just riding bikes, is my main interest, most of the time can't wait to get for a ride, meet up other riders and shoot the breeze.

The forum suggests most S3 riders are 40 something with a mid-life crisis.

In truth I'm 57 going on 20 something, curious to see what other Sprinters on this forum feel about this.

56 and like BazzSt I act like I'm in my 20s. Bikes keep you young.

hehe, I'm 47. Don't know about the midlife crisis, at lest its effect on my bikes as I've ridden all my life, I've just got more than one now. (always been a harley guy, I've picked up an S3 in the last year)
