Age ?!?

[G]

How old is the average SV Rider

I'm 23 and look considerably younger is the general opinion.

Nearly everytime I have met up with fellow SV'er people are generally older and I'm the youngest.

So post your age :p

I'm no doubt not the youngest and finding out the oldest will be interesting.

[Mike2165]

42, been riding since June this year, should definately have done it sooner, already on my second bike, my first being a zephyr 550, but I love riding the SV, hour and half each way, back ache, numb legs, but wouldn't give it up now for anything.

[Dave The Rave]

34 but I also look considerably younger. And as a matter of fact I am not Riding SV :-)

[andyb]

[grh1904]

38.

I take great pride in the "YOU'RE JOKING", comments when I tell people that. This is often followed by "I THOUGHT YOU WERE YOUNGER THAN THAT", or even better "YOU MEAN YOU'RE ACTUALLY OLDER THAN ME ???".:smt045:smt045:smt045

[Supervox]

And I fear that I must remind a fair few of you of 2 things :-


(1) Youth is wasted on the young (courtesy G B Shaw)

(2) Age is a state of mind - it's just a pity that most people don't realise this until they are over 30 !!

[Alpinestarhero]

21. I'm often the youngest person with a bike wherever I go.

My dad has observed that the average age of people at a typical biker meet is probably over 35

[rictus01]

get up in the morning and for about a hour, get a real life feel of a 85 year old,fight all day to feel any younger :(, hobble about most of the day perhaps at my best feel 60 :|, get on the bike and go out for a ride, feel a painful 30 or so :riding:, come back and crawl up the stairs to me door the 85 year old returns :crutches:.

Best discribed as "high mileage example" thse days8-[

[Dante]

27 - been riding for 3 years.

Bikes been sat in the garage for a whole year until this week - still fired up first time.

I'm back riding and loving it!

[LindaS]

I might be the winner so far: 50!!!!!!!

Got my licence at 18 but never rode a bike after the day of my test.
Started again last year in February and my new SV650 is my 4th bike.
1. Suzuki GN250
2. Kawasaki Vulcan VN750
3. Suzuki GS500
4. Suzuki SV650

It's never too late!

[plowsie]

[the_runt69]

47 but feel 90 in the morning and alot less at night

[Jackie_Black]

29 Passed my test last month but been riding bikes since i was about 12

[ukgooner]

One of the older here at 42, had a DR125 when I was 19 / 20, swapped it for a CR125 and did a lot of off-road with Uncle / cousins, decided to do test last year, kept mentioning it to the wife, kept getting hassle, decided WTF, booked CBT / DAS in April and took it on the chin when I told her :)
Passed my test in July, done 1500 since then commuting into London daily.

[Skip]

29 here - the big 3-0 in November! Eek!

[Bluewolf]

Physically 28-58 (depending on the time of day)
Mentally, oh, about 12... :oops:

[2mths]

28 though according to Paws I look older than that. When I was younger people always thought I was older than I am, now it seems it's working against me.

So I'm young compared to a lot of people, but do I feel old compared to being in my early 20s. I'm definately well past being "fresh faced" though and yes I'd much rather listen to Radio 2 on the wireless ;-) than most other rubbish.

[Tara]

36, 37 soon

[Steve_God]

Taking those that have given exact and actual ages, I've whacked it into a spreadsheet and the current average age is!: 30 Years old! (Well... 30.34 to be exact) ;)

[SoulKiss]

With one lady owner, only used to get the shopping and go to church on a Sunday?

[SoulKiss]

Oh, and 33, 34 in a month

[cornishrider]

I be 17, 18 next month :D, Been riding since october last year.

[Raf]

29, and I keep getting told I look no older than 25

Ahh caps, the new toupes... :smt118

I need to say I don't like threads like this too much, this one just pointed out to me that Rictus & Runt69 are the same age as my dad! (or there about) :shock:

And if anyone is that bothered, I am the same age as that strayer lad...

[Jester666]

See bottom of my signature! :rolleyes:

[Vickster]

30

I got asked ID for booze the night before my 30th, didn't know whether to be insulted or chuffed !!!

Mental age of about 8 - Am I only the person who still, at 30 years old laughs everytime I fart ?!!!!!

[Paws]

23:cool:

[Dan]

I'd much rather listen to Radio 2 on the wireless ;-) than most other rubbish.

Radio 4 for me. I can't stand all that noise 'music' the young 'uns listen to nowadays - and I don't understand Ipods, or iPods, or ipods or whatever they are. Why anyone wants to walk around plugged into blaring music all the time's beyond me!

30 here on the outside, but more like 50 on the inside.

[melody]

30, and I've been told its downhill from here on :(

[Biker Biggles]

Downhill from 30?
I can vouch for that.:D

[Ed]

30, and I've been told its downhill from here on :(

Aw Mel, you wear your heart on your sleeve!!

It most certainly and definitelamento gets better:D

At 46 I'm fitter than when I was 16
Wiser than when I was 26
Greyer than when I was 36 but I don't care about that:D

[Wideboy]

18!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mrgreen: 2 yrs riding, 6 months on full license

[TOY40]

36 I think!passed the test 2 months ago, defo should of done it years ago.But then again there is alot to be said for wisdom.And been grey from 19 i've never been asked for ID.

[Ruffy]

Let's keep the average up:
Me 37, full bike licence at 21.
Wifey (the SV rider - she won' tlet me have a go in case I enjoy myself too much) 36, full bike licence at 18.

Both working on the principle that although everyone must grow older, no-one need grow up!

[Law]

I'm 15 so nerr to you old fogeys :p :lol:

Ok, not 15 really.

[BILLY]

30, and I've been told its downhill from here on :(
Your not even in your prime yet;)

Oh 37 and I don't ride an SV anymore:( But I do ride a Crosser:cool:

[Tartan Terror]

25, been riding for nearly 2 months.

[monkey]

29. Passed my test and bought the SV at your age! Still haven't got my knee down though. Git. (Sorry, it's a reflex I get when I see your avatar!)

I have however grown an old man beard so that when I reach 30 (Or 40) I can shave it off along with a few years! Good plan? Hell yeah. Oh no. I'm 30 at my next Birthday. I remember going to McDonalds for my 12th Birthday!

Git.

:smt092

[monkey]

No I didn't! I was 24. He he he.

Sorry for the git thing Graeme. I like young bouys.

[krhall]

[stewie]

Im 47 but have the body of a 46 yrd old

[wyrdness]

I got asked for ID a few weeks ago when buying booze in Waitrose. I'll be 40 in a couple of weeks time! I've been driving since 1985, so my driving license is old enough to drink.

[JediGoat]

Hmmmmmm......35 here.

However, when it comes to getting out of bed, I'm more like a teenager.

When it comes to riding a bike.....I'm more like an old git.

[Beenz]

[dizzyblonde]

I is 30, but being the dizzy type, i mostly appear to be younger. I feel about 80 and ride like one too. You know that old bird driving that Nissan Micra, well thats how Dizzyblonde rides her SV.

No that's my son really :D

[jamessunhill]

22 here. Most people pick me as 25, some say i'm 18. Passed my test 30th April this year and rode my SV 280 miles back home the following Saturday. I'm quite impressed with myself so far. I've done over 5000 miles since then (including going to the TT):p and that's with having the SV as my alternative mode of transport.

[clodge]

Let's hope not!

[Lozzo]

45, passed my bike test 5 days after my 17th birthday in 1979 - not had a day without a bike since. I have a 26 year old daughter, who rides a GSXR600 K6, and three other kids aged 18, 16 and 14. It's my kids and my bikes that keep me looking and feeling young.
