Narr my dad was at 70.
but he sold his bike to Skip. He now rides a V-Strom 650, as it's better on his wrists...
So you might be the current oldest...

Total respect due there. That's probably what I'll be like come the day. I apparently will have reverted by bike to near standard faired yellow trim, as it was the day i got her. Awwwww.....


BTW. What's the extra dial on his bike?

Look in the screen/tankbag area, you can see the wires out the back of it?

Well, it only has two obvious connections so I'm guessing it's a voltmeter - the two crimps are red so they're light and thus probably not up to ammeter current - maybe.
