Average CB1100 Rider Age

[Jeephoto_imp]

I bought a '14 DLX yesterday. I'm 50 years old. Started riding with a Puch moped at 13 years old, obtained my less than 100 cc TX motorcycle license at age 15 and bought a 1979 Honda XL100 the same year. After first year of college, bought a 1980 CX500 Custom used, and rode that for quite a few years.

Still wish I owned the CX500 Custom - freaking loved that bike.

Shortly after I married, I bought a black 750 Nighthawk, then kids came along and I sold that. So now, almost 20 years later, I bought the CB11. Pretty pumped to have another bike in the garage to ride to work when I want.

Wow, I had the same experience.

I'm 58, but got my MC License at 15 to ride my Honda CL100s (under 5 brake horsepower). I rode for one year, then got a car license and went to riding dirt bikes. Rode dirt bikes until married, sold them, raised kids, and 20 years later bought a well-used KLR when I turned 50. Rode the KLR for 8 years, then bought the CB1100.

Everytime I got my car license renewed, the DMV asked if I wanted to keep the MC license and I said yes even though I was not riding motorcycles anymore. I am so glad I did and so glad I got back into riding.

When the weather turns nicer, I'm gonna ride down to Galveston. Maybe all the Houston area CB'ers can get together.
