Often, when I read a comment that I question on WG, I wonder if the poster is 35, 55, or 75+. Typically, if I look at their profile, they don't list their age. Is this because they think it might make them more susceptible to being scammed, or make it easier for them to be found on social media?

I only ask because sometimes a response from a WG member makes me wonder their age ....... in other words, what in their age group might guide their response.

Some WG members post their age in their profile, most don't.

Just curious.

BTW - 78 end of January, 2021.

Bob, you’re an inspiration to me at 67! This coming June will be my 50th year of riding.

Well any bike weighing more than 350#s has got to go. With 3 exceptions, out of 11, they are all sport or ex race bikes. It's still big fun, but pay-'back' the next day is serious. My mileage has dropped like a stone. 88 yrs. old, last October. My goal has always been meeting Fred Marsh's 101 yrs. old and still riding.

I began @ 16. Developed a 'need' for riding serious distances quickly. Did the same in business with cars, trucks & buses. It was a hoot while it lasted. R3~

RS125, CX125, 150, V50, 2X V65 Lario, V7 IIIR, Daytona, RD400, T500 2Stroke Cafe`bike, GB500TT. Currently plated excepting the Cafe` bike.

I’m 44. Still haven’t grown up. Don’t know if I ever will.

I'm 87. I went from a two-wheeler to a four-wheeler a couple years ago for my travels to the mid-west rallies. I have a mild heart condition and didn't want to be out on the road and have an accident.

^^^^^ I want to be like the other Chuck when I grow up..

In 22 days I'll no longer be 50 something.

guzzisteve · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2020, 09:48:18 AM »

Hey, I'm 67 last month. Don't care if I get out and ride or go to rallies anymore, over 400,000mi on my own Guzzi's. I done my share. And I'll keep riding a long time, got a 3rd wheel.
Thanks for the inspiration Bob.

"60" I think,maybe, as far as I can remember!

cliffrod · « **Reply #13 on:** December 31, 2020, 10:05:04 AM »

Doesn't bother me to tell my age, 53 right now.

The angst is that my wife claims to never know or remember her age. when it's needed, she asks me how old she is. I think it's a test.

Joe A. · « **Reply #14 on:** December 31, 2020, 10:05:40 AM »

66.

Looking at this post, Guzzi has long term survival issues

Vagrant · « **Reply #15 on:** December 31, 2020, 10:07:29 AM »

Just turned 73 and have never been without a bike in the garage since I was 16. seven was the high, down to 3 now. at least temporally.

Texas Turnip · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2020, 10:17:28 AM »

Not afraid to post my age-78 Feb 1. Why are some so afraid to post the state they live in? Are that many Guzzi riders in the witness protection program?

So much for the young vibrant Moto Guzzi crowd. You people have belly button lint older than me. And I'm 62 and getting ready to pull the trigger on SS.

I'll be 74 in June, still on 2,wheels, a 750 Breva. Had to get rid of the 1100 Cali due to aging issues and parking issues when I moved 2 years ago. Try to ride whenever the weather allows. Haven't missed a month in quite some time.

jcctx · « **Reply #25 on:** December 31, 2020, 01:29:46 PM »

78 middle of March; only have an old Honda left in garage (CM 450A) Do not ride it much (eye sight a bit sketchy, wind is really bothersome). THINKING OF PUTTING TOGETHER AN ELECTRIC BIKE THIS WINTER (scuse the caplock). Last winter I did cheap Walmart bike and two stroke kit. Been on powered two wheeler since 1956!

Yeah I know too many people who kept putting off and now they get to spend it as either a widow or widower.

wavedog · « **Reply #27 on:** December 31, 2020, 02:13:49 PM »

63 now. 64 in a few months. After all that I have survived I am stoked to still be here. I never thought that I would reach 60. Neither did anyone else. I know that there are quite a few of you that have been through more. It is good to be alive.

Kiwi Dave · « **Reply #28 on:** December 31, 2020, 02:30:18 PM »

Turned 73 a couple of months ago. Still riding daily but not always on a Guzzi. - forced me to buy an Indian FTR1200 followed closely by an Indian Chief. Loving it!
