Just turned 50. Divorced 20 years ago. Started collecting old bikes for therapy. Now live in sin and have two littlies.

[EML]

I am quite surprised how many of us are 50+/- and only a few are much older or much younger. I know my club (BMCC) has only 1 or 2 pups but a few older guys(60-70+)
I guess that's where we come from and why we're here. The mid to late seventies and most of the eighties where the glory years of our sport and that;s where we cut our teeth.
Perhaps we could have put in a combined household income guide to balance it all out but then where one gets his dough and what he does with it will always be a wild variant.
The other thing is the number of 'better' racers that are still about where as the also rans have moved on to some other past time.

That must be what it is-when the HELMET goes on the years fall away-or the track falls away-or the bikes falls away (from under me) or all of the above.
Now I have a new excuse. You beauty!!

[shorelinemc]

it`s alright eml we will make sure there is oxygen at the practice day if you are going to wheeze and struggle to get your breath after a ride you should take up smoking at least you have an  excuse then!!

It's not moto-cross unless you dive into the first corner with 30 other bikes going for the same blade of grass - give us your new address and we'll turn your play racing into motocross .

Of the 56 that have fessed up so far and not including the two or three that commented but could'nt quite bring themselves to say it, from my calculations average age of regular contributors to this forum or at least those that did respond (56) is approx 47.5yrs. Which equates to an average birth date of May 1962

Just worked it out after all these years.... my birthday May 1962..... Average, average, average, two kids.....average, average, average.... still riding dirt bikes at my age.... not average, shit I luv that!!

I was redunded from the water board after 26 years and blew all my super on a servo thanks to coles/shell. had a Harley fall on me at about 4yrs old and fell of a C11 in the back yard at villawood at 16, i guess that's what started all this for me!    cheers wally.
