Hi, this is "Old Dave" in Western Nebraska and I'll put my two cents worth in because thats about all I have since this mess we have in the economy....
I'll be 73 in August but love to ride and play golf. Have both knee replacements, in 2001 and I suppose because I'm still very active the have come un glued, that is the button on the "Petella" so may have to have them fixed as the knee caps are sitting off to the outside of each knee. Supposed to see an "Ortho" in Ft. Collins April 10th and if he doesn't get to excited will just live with it. This 2005 S-Wing I have just 'foots the bill', and can easily handle it even in my condition. Old, Yes, Well that's the rest of the story.....
Just "Old Dave" Who knows, may even ride to Sturgis with Jon this year....

wow.........I think I will sell this one soon........lol. I am 34. But I got used to staying away from guys my age as most I know are more interested in what they look like and what others think. I care about riding it.

At an actual 57 years of age my mind is stuck somewhere about mid twenties. I took to riding scoots some ten plus years ago and instantly knew a massive part of my life had been missed.

If I want speed and thrills I will jump into the seat in front of my XBox and crash into anybody and everything knowing I can't hurt anyone apart from myself falling off the chair if cornering too hard.

The Silverwing to me is the ultimate in riding, (except in the wet), comfort, speed and storage. The rice rocketeers can have their sporty image, I'm mega happy sitting in comfort getting from A to B in style and panache.

Not 60 but 18 with 42 years' experience - at least that's what the T-shirt says.

I'll be 56 on the 10th November if anyone wants to send me expensive presents!

PM me for address, post early please I don't want to be disappointed.

Cornishman:
You and I share the same birthday. I will be 52 this year and I will drink a (moderately expensive) single malt on your behalf.

Well, I don't know whether I should enter this "kiddie room topic, but I will anyway in spite of being 85. I guess my maturity clock is on a different time zone.. having to wait until I was 48 before getting serious about riding and then becoming a competitive observed trials rider . Getting a bit bored with the slow stuff, I started riding enduro bikes like the Yamaha IT 250 & IT 465. A couple of serious getoffs forced me to go to sport quads, my last one being a Yamaha 660 Raptor. Finally (or semi-finally) I decided tp try the street riding thing with a 2002 Kawasaki 1500 Mean Streak cruiser. That just became too large & heavy for the short hops I was taking, hence the S'Wing in 07. I like the scoot especially after the performance additions. I have to say that I still miss the shifting, the clutch, (it's a control thing, I guess)and yeh, the dirt & XC thrills of blasting thru the desert WFO.

I usually drink my single malt with a fine cigar, but single malt with chocolate? hmmm I may have to try that...

Thanks Scootist you're a true gent.

I'm 59, turning 60 the day before Halloween.

65 as of March 9th... but do I care??? Heck no, I got Medicare... and Tricare... but who cares?? I ain't goin' nowheres... except out ridin' on my "Wing".

I am 61, will be 62 in November, and appreciate this forum for the online friends and advice of so many fine folks! Ride safe, ...and happy...billc.

I didn't start riding until I was 66. Now I'm 70, playing golf and enjoying my silverwing

It doesn't seem possible I'm 62. I was born during the Korean War so it must be true.

Can't be Papa, the Korean thing started 60 years ago today. I was too young to be part of it, to smart to have been part of the Vietnamese thing and too old now to give a damn.

The Korean War was from June 1950 until 1953 billc.

Me thinks he might mean WWII, but I wasn't old enough to remember it as I was not very old at that time. I didn't show up on the scene till late in 1947, things are just a tad hard to remember back that far.

69, 70 in December. Retired for 11 years and have lots of riding planned!

Hi KINN,
Next year I will need to change my vote to the 61-70 section.

I'm 33 -- my age increases the further away I am from riding and drops towards 20 when I'm on my Swing and riding free. The Swing is my 3rd scoot. I went from a Buddy 150 from July 2008 to July 2009, then a SYM Citycom 300i from July 2009 till June 2010. I've had Senora since June 12, and been grinning like a 20 year old on the last day of spring semester.

34. Dang, I'm not the youngest here. Hammy, how'd you like the Sym Citycom 300 I. It would make a nice scoot for my wife or a good replacment for the Helix.

Ron, don't even get me started. AVOID SYM AT ALL COSTS. The reason I got the Swing was because my SYM crapped out after just 15k miles and began overheating once it began to get over 70 degrees. It's been in the shop since April 1, and STILL hasn't been resolved under warranty. The US distributor's headquarters just recently burned down a few weeks ago under suspicious circumstances, believed to be arson. I'm not the only 2009 Citycom owner who has been having problems. SYM makes a stellar HD200 and RV250 which might be better options for you, but the way they've handled my situation has been just sickening. Unless the US distributor (Carter Brothers) changes the way they run things or SYM gets a different distributor, I'd advise you to stay away from SYM completely.

AND back to your usual programming, folks! Sorry for the little hijack by your resident 30-something young'uns!

No worries -- my age is variable! Closer to 50 at work and 20 on the Swing!

Let's see, in my newly uploaded avatar -- that'd be about 20 and change!

67.5 and having a good time putting miles on my SW and GW! Been riding on two wheels with a motor for 54 years now and not having much luck kicking the habit.
