Average age of riders

[Doc*]

Hey Doc,
Good move on going to a trike. More forgiving and safer for sure. BTW, nice looking trike. I'm in Florida too, nice riding weather. Go for a ride & let your wife go shopping >> well it works for me!:clapping:

Hocky,

This is my second trike. I got my first one in 08. BTW, I no longer live in Florida - we sold our place there one year ago this month. Kinda miss the warm weather but I just got back from a ride today. Appreciate your comments. Ride Safe. Doc ThumbUp

Doc, I've been reading your posts on here for a while, the new trike, The Triker from AL, etc.....I'm so glad to see your age post, I turn 82 in Feb, and most pleased to find I'm not the oldest geezer. You should get some kind of award. Rock on.

bikerbillone,

I think we exchanged some comments regarding our ages and our service in Korea sometime back. I see and read your comments regularly. Ride Safe. Doc ThumbUp

Hi Doc,
You sure look young to be 83, I'm not that far behind at 77, my wife gave me that same story that she would not ride with me any more on two wheels, so I bought a Harley tri-glide and she road with me about two times and has lost interest.
This was me back in 1971 when I was a wild and crazy guy, that was my 1950 Triumph 650cc.

lboos,

Thanks for the looks comment but that pic was taken when I was little older than you (78 ). That's women for you, then they ask why you spent all that money on yourself even though you did it so they would go with you like in their younger years. Go figure! Ride Safe. Doc ThumbUp

73 here. Ride a 06 GL1800 with CSC trike kit. Most fun toy I have ever had.

Wife and I are both 53 (I think). Tell everyone she is older but she's not. Been riding on two wheels pretty much all my life and still do on my 1500. Ran into some real crappy medical issues a few years back and although I'm back in the game again (thank you man above) I'm left with some issues in my feet. Bought a Roadsmith converted 1800 for the wife and I to travel on. Should have made the transition many moons ago.

I sure am enjoying this thread. So glad you joined us Doc. Same to you other guys too. Doc, I've seen you on the Honda forum and glad you finally made it over here. Hope to meet you at the Texas Reunion.

Careful what you ask for Zook :cxtv:
Doc may appear to be a mild-mannered "Professor/Dean type" on the surface.
But much like Clark Kent,,, underneath that calm, harmless, mature, suave and debonair exterior lies something far more (shall we say for lack of a better and more apt descriptor) "Feral"
Like a Full Moon to a Lycanthrope,,, A Trike Rally brings out the "Beast". He may not bite but he shore do Howl :laugh:

Best alert the Rangers just in case ThumbUp

Zook,

I certainly look forward to meeting you and as Wheels would say "put a handshake on ya". Ride Safe. Doc ThumbUp

P.S. You can't always listen to Veritas44 and Wheels as they sometimes conspire against me. :Trike1:

Some would say 'if the shoe fits, wear it'. :Shrug:
Have a great day.

No, it would not look good.

I think you only need to take a sample, oh let's say 20 members. That would give you an idea of the average age. I'm 65.5 and ride a TG.

 

[patriot]

Do I get the "Golden Oldie Award"? I'm 83 and have been married for 64+ years and would still be on two but my wife said I was too old and skinny to hold a Goldwing up so she wouldn't ride with me anymore. She said she would consider riding with me if I triked the wing. I did and she rode 2 miles around the complex in Florida. When we got back home I asked her to go for a ride and she refused. I told her I thought you said you would "consider" riding if I triked and she responded I did but I'm "reconsidering".

Needless to say I now ride alone! I hope to continue riding until some of you guys turn 83. I just bought myself this trike for my 83rd birthday and hope I can ride till I wear it out or kick the bucket. Ride Safe.

patriot,

Yes I am and we (trike riders from all over the Country) have a gathering every September in Nashville and it is titled the Nashville Road Kill Ride-In and will be held September 2 thru 5 this year. A group of us will be going down to Wing Ding one day. I appreciate you letting me know. Ride Safe. Doc ThumbUp

Stallion air ride suspension

Does anyone know what brand air suspension or if there is an aftermarket suspension system for the Stallion trike?
