Title: Average or median age of WildGuzzi members?
Post by: willowstreetguzziguy on January 27, 2019, 09:38:52 AM
Anyone know the average or median age of members on this site? Just curious when you hear about all the suspender slappers!

Good question for Luap....I'd guess 50...closest to without going over?
Wait median? or average age? bet they would be quite different

50 for average

35 for median...if we use median we'll sound like a much younger group :)

Easy. Use the curmudgeon formula. Works on any internet forum.
Divide # of legitimate questions per month by the square root of grumpy responses.

68.2 years

Remember not to include angry responses, only grumpy.

The median is surly a good bit greater than 35.

Think of what this poor man witnessed in his lifetime. The decimation of his people and hundreds of treaties broken.
Decimation is too kind of a word. I can't help think this when I look at his face and eyes.

agreed....more to the point though is the median is more resistant to outliers... any outliers out there ? :)

 Luap did a poll a couple of years back , one of you patient guys can locate it . At the time I think the largest age group was the 60-65 demographic .

That would seem true. My guess is the average age is 64.2591 and the median age is 58.2983.

I’m interested in knowing the age of the oldest member still riding at least 5000 miles / year?

Hey Canada Klaus, you out there ?  I know you and “ihonk” must be in the running and put on way more miles than that each year!!

 I nominate Mel Lucke of Portland,Or for consideration. 82 this year on a California & Norge bought 1-1 1/2 yrs ago. Awesome guy, avid walker & smooth rider starting 7-8 yrs ago I think.

Maybe we're going about this the wrong way...    My median age is 27.  Of course that was back in 1989.    :grin:

I was about your age when I first fell for the Guzzis... sadly it was just this year at 53 when I got one!!!

Further to spoiling an already soured demographic?
In recent years I'm down to nearly 5K miles/month Avril to October-November. In 2007, a truly winterless winter, i.e. no insulated boots or heavy coats, I rode more than 300 mi. every week, Dec. to Mar. I'm hopeful for this year, although both hips have been hollering at me for years. A carefully adjusted V7III helps. I'll be 85 later this year.

Better late than never!  :grin: Congrats on the Guzzi :)

I've had two now, a V11 LeMans and a Breva 750, got my first one in January of 2011... so I was 21 at the time of my first Guzzi!

I really miss riding, but right now my living situation is uncertain... so I'm holding off a bit. Maybe a V85 variant is in my future?

You should see some of the gear I have lol, need to get some pics of me actually on my bike with it. Kinda hard to do when you work on your bike more than you ride it  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Unkept. (love your handle).
Thanx. But as they say; Not my 1st rodeo. Been riding for almost 70 years. Have eight more 2 & 4 strokes of other brands: V50 III, V65 Lario, 93 Daytona, Aprilia RS125, Gilera CX125, GB500TT, T500 Café racer. All plated and road worthy, except the T500.
Many other 2 strokes and bmw's in the past.  Good fortune,  R3~

Maybe time for a another poll?

Last time I did this, the average age was 52 years old.

I’ll start another poll, or anyone else can for that matter.

46 here.

Mentally? Still 26. According to others, I'm either "young at heart" or "immature"... depends on who you are and how much you like me, I guess.

My average age is 59.  I'm 59 and I'm average.  Median age? my median has gotten so wide lately I don't know if I can measure it.  You know, space contraction and time dilation happens when your median expands really quickly.  Where's my quantum tape measure?

I wasn't replying to your comment, ha! I was responding to s1120.  :grin:

That's a sweet collection of bikes you've had. I would love to ride pretty much all of those! Good taste.
