OAP bug eater Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Hi Thanks for the adding me. About me, 68 years old been a biker since the age of 16 (1969) never even learned to drive a car let alone own one, I WILL get one when I'm old. Current (and possibly final) bike is a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 classic, only got it about a month ago, this is the second time I have owned said model, a sign of how much I like this make/model, my previous Vulcan I bought in 2001 when I lived and worked in the Republic of Ireland, it still owns the record for the longest I ever owned a bike, 7 years only selling it when I was looking becoming homeless square in the face, was so desperate I sold it for 900 quid!! As soon as my finacial situation improved (bikeless for just under 2 years) I bought a Harley FXSTC I liked it but didn't love it, kept it for about 5 years, never felt trully comfortable with it, I found it too heavy and a struggle to push/pull when parking etc, as I am opperating with only one fully functional leg, my right leg is very weak and can only be partially bent, due to a terrible accident in 1971 (I was a pillion) my best friend who was riding sadly lost his life in the accident, he was a few weeks short of his 19th birthday. RIP Phil. I have honestly lost count of the bikes I have owned, even had a couple of trikes, 52 years as 'a biker' with a few occasions without thrown in, so not 'been riding' for 52 years, I would estimate a combined figure for times with a bike at around 46/7 Anyway, enough rabbit, see you all around. 3 Quote
