Average CB1100 Rider Age

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Anyone still riding past 70 is an icon in my book. Congrats GS.

69 was one of the better years for the Bonnie. My favorite was the 67 in Burgoine and white. Perfect proportions, awesome sound, beautiful motorcycle. One of the top 3 best looking motorcycles of all time imo.

I'm 69 in February. I left school in '60 and the '61 Bonnie (T120) was my dream machine. It took me to '93 to get one! It's still in the garage.

The CB is my everyday ride and now pushing 24000kms and I still love it. I call it the "Last Blast" as I intend to ride it till one of us drops . The Bridgestone BT45s I fitted at 18000kms have virtually no chicken strips and have given good service. Recommended.

This Thursday am setting off, from Sydney, on a 5 day tour of the Kosciusko National Park and the Alpine National Park region. Am planning on around 2500kms. Mega-twisty country with very little population. The roads are generally two-lane and sometimes with no centreline and the odd bit of dirt. I generally try to keep dirt to a minimum as it is not the CB's forte. Standout roads are the Great Alpine Road and the Bogong High Plains Road, but there is much to choose from. Aussie riders will appreciate this part of OZ if they have ridden it. This is not my first time to tour this area, it keeps on getting better and better. I will be carrying my home with me (hooch and sleeping bag etc) and generally like to camp in reasonable proximity to a "watering (beer) hole". If this is not available then the emergency litre of Wild Turkey or Bundy Rum will sing me to sleep.

I apologise for the thread drift but I guess what I am driving at is that with a little luck and determination age is no barrier to enjoying your CB.
