Just go ride, ….regardless of your age.

clear your handlebars and your mind will follow!

Looking good Fred

This forum may attract older segments because one doesn't really start feeling it until one is over 60. Then one might feel the need for a little company. and discussion of what's going on.

Bottom line =
60 year olds are half
70+ and 50 yo each a quarter.

but nothing better than havin a dollar two eighty when a shave is 2 bits and the beer holds its’ head! ;)

edit: cherio - :beer: :ride:

Beat me to it😉 after giving us a bad scare, Fred is looking fit and ready to roll on!

Hey... It's nice to put a close up face to some of the guys I have been following for years... Here's mine...

yes & I'll bet you wanted that car in HS, like the rest of us, eh?

Daughter's Car.

awww shucks, but good for her!

You or the car?:-)

What ... Range are You In?
 

I'm getting closer but I haven't been put out to the range yet. (I did vote. The facts, not my wishes.)

Both. The Car is Faster

I'm guessing cyclists older than 86 aren't tech savvy enough to have internet.

I'll be eligible for the 72+ forum in January.

My sister's 87 going on 88 and uses the internet just fine. There's a whole group of 80 plus cyclists, 650 of them, on Facebook, all using the internet. My wife is 84 (and bicycles) and uses it just fine, and
​​will still remember when she's 86.

Can you please ask them to contribute to this poll so it doesn't read "0" in their age group? 650 cyclists over 86 would really be impressive.

"The only age is not dead yet"

My favorite bathroom stall graffiti ever. Denton, TX.

Younger people dont want people to know how old they are already, and old people like me (83) like to brag about our age.

Naaaah... Not when I've got these in the garage...

AND the quickest of the bunch - one NOBODY expects...

Because NOBODY expects that out of a 4-door grandpa-mobile! Especially when it runs a sub 12-second quarter-mile!!!

Odd as it may seem, but to me this has been one of the best and most entertaining threads I have seen on BikeForums for ages (even ever). Great bunch of guys who have contributed over the decades to cylcing, health and achievements of all sorts.

And great to see them close up.

I turned 66 in early August, and despite a near-fatal workplace accident in March 2018 which has left me with permanent brain injury, I am still cycling, although not as much as I did before that accident. This year might get to a total of 2,000-plus kilometres, which sounds measily, but is quite an achievement to me now, and thanks a lot to the patience of Machka who has been incredibly thoughtful all the way.

I do miss some of the BikeForums guys who have disappeared along the way. Even over the past weekend, I was thinking a lot about pcad who was very contributable in thoughts and cycling. But I also have contact from to time with others who have done incredibly well, such as Machka and Bill (qcpmsame) both on and off the road in diffierent ways.

and yes, my head was put on crooked. No se habla selfies. Rowan, did I just make you eat your words/ :giver:

yikes! what si that I don't recognize it for sure. at 1st I thought it was a Chevy

'89 Ford Crown Vic LX, originally a 351W-VV (Variable Venturi 2-barrel), now bored/stroked to 395 inches. That pic was taken when it was still a mid-13-second emissions-test-legal ride that pumped out 380hp. Now that it is age exempt, I bumped things up a bit - now somewhere north of 610hp at the crank. AND it is still street legal.

yowza!

Lol...I have always appreciated a sleeper.............

Once I win the big lotter I'd probably do something like that and buy a Grand National.....still a soft spot for those.

Just get the more understated Regal T-Type. Same car as the GN at a fraction of the price! Waaaaay back in '85, I was trying to decide between a Regal T-Type (I couldn't afford the Grand National) and the Ford T-bird Turbo Coupe. I got the Turbo Coupe because I wanted a stick shift - and the insurance was cheaper than the T-type (GM mid-size of the '80s were VERY popular theft items!)
