How old are you Tiger riders?

This afternoon, I had some new Honda CBR start running against me at a stoplight. I walked off and left him. He came racing past me, showing off like a looser, half a mile later, when I'd slowed down. As luck would have it, he was going to the same shop I was. When we got off together, I found a pimple-faced kid under that helmet he was wearing. He was friendly, bragged on the wheelies he could pop, and told me I was riding an 'old man's bike'.

Pretty cheeky, for a kid I left in my dust. Still, it got me to worryin'... Just how old are the average riders on this forum?

I will celebrate the 39th aniversary of my 16th birthday this year.

That should make me...... :???: .......46.

Do you know that 60% of the population can add, the other 43% can't. :hammer:
