By the looks of that cell phone on your belt I'd say you restored it more than just a few years ago, haha.

Two summers ago, I sold my '79 Honda CB650. At the time that would have been 60 + 32 = 92.

I just tallied up my collection; me & the bikes add up to 1213 years old!
 
Are all those bikes running?

No, maybe a dozen or so that I could get running on a single Saturday with a couple of trickle chargers, a gas can and tire pump. Probably like 400 years total...
 
400 years total? :rofl: Think you got it.... OK dudes, let's keep it to one bike, your primary or oldest secondary.

The 5 bikes I have curently tagged, stickered, and insured add up to 163 years, plus , My 58 years :eek2:is 221 years. There are several older bikes not currently tagged, that ARE riders. The 46 Indian really adds up, but it is not currently tagged.
 
I'm not old but I am 65. Since I failed the third grade, I would have been 64. 1969 Kawasaki Mach 3 500cc widow maker. What's our total years? I dont know, but its not worth figuring. No trophy for this youngster.
 
Bump. Come on, there's gotta be more old guys on old bikes on this site. Let's see them!
 
I had a birthday, so now I'm 62 on a '73=102.

Getting old still sucks.
 
What the heck, some are old photos, some are not that old (bikes), but since the replies are drying up...

Me (#142) leading the first wave of the Historic Production Heavyweight class, and one of the faster class (#40) that started in the wave ahead of us, into turn 1 at Barber's in 2007-

My scratch-built '69 Bonnie Street Tracker, and me, before my hair started turning gray. This photo must have been about 1999 or 2000-
