As a new member I posted my mandatory introduction in the proper section, and it was pointed out to me that the average FJR rider age is 50 years. At 22 that puts me pretty close to the bottom of the heap. I was just wondering who else out there has yet to receive their letter from AARP and how long they have been riding and how they ended up with the FJR. Best regards to all, young and old alike.

22,,,,,,, Hell,, I have underwear older than that ... (just kidding)

At 57 I guess I'm above average ,,,, at least that's what I've been told a few times...

Coincidence? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

I think the two are completely unrelated considering that I was hit hard on the rear-right side while flowing with traffic at the speed limit. Click my crash club icon for details. I generally limit my excessive acceleration to freeway on-ramps and the drag strip.

The day I picked up my bike, the ~24-year-old tech who was going over it with me went on and on about how nice a bike it was.

Then he said "Yeah, when I'm graying and 50, this will be my dream bike."

Damn kids.

What the hell did that young whipper snapper say? At 54, I don't hear so well any more.

(the only reason I don't have 22 yo underwear is it all shrunk in the drawer) :angry2:

You sure about that?

Couldn't agree more. Most of the younger riders I know are on crotch rockets and tell stories about their top speed and what kind of wreck they survived. I listen and shake my head. The reason I didn't get my motorcycle license until I was almost 22 is that I watched my mom suffer through a couple years of recovery and knew that I wasn't ready. I wanted to learn the ways of the road and ins and outs of traffic with a "bubble" around me. Even now when people tell me about how they got hit by someone, in a car or on a bike, and say it was no fault of their own I wonder if they understand that no one on the road is looking out for you except YOU, and that it is how you prepare for that that makes you safe.

Sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders... good on ya! :clapping:
