I move up another category today, I'm now in the 46-55 group.
Chronologically that is, with all the injuries and surgeries that I've had (7) my body feels like it belongs in the 100+ bracket. But I'll ride even if I can only make it to the end of the driveway and back.
I am a year and a half away from the "badass" group. Don't ride as far or fast lately. I still love to ride. I can ride up, sit under a tree and watch a tractor work a field for an hour or so, or just watch a creek run by, have done it.. Have a friend in the PGR that is 86 now maybe 87. He rides from Idaho to "the wall" about every other year. Rides a Goldwing. He is my hero.
I'm 2 months and 1 day older than W/R so I was recently into the 46-55 bracket when I bought my 17EX. I never knew anybody with a CB750 and was only a child in the 1970s. I just think this bike is the bees knees.
oh man...it's not like i didn't already know i'd bought an "old man" bike, but now I have statistical analysys to back it up
. Very happy to be in the club, though. Seems like I gravitate towards a lot of "old man" things and behaviors. I knew nothing about classic CBs before buying the CB11, and just fell in love with the aesthetic and the culture as an extension of my purchase.
I made the third from the top age group, 52 come October.
As each band covers 10 years, there is a 10% chance of being at any of the ages covered by one band.
So this stats could be updated yearly, moving 10% from each band to the next one, and it wouldn't be wrong by much.
I'm a 1 per center, 75 years old recovering from knee replacement 1 month ago. Probably another month until I can ride the CB 1100. Been riding since my 20's and its part of my life, the CB 1100 reminds me of my 750 K1, perfect for me now.
