52 also and still ride a fair bit.
Started riding when I was 10, so that's 42 years on bikes for me.
Raced motocross from age 13 to 45, had to give it up as I got too old, fat and it hurt too much the day after the races. Almost cried when I sold my last MX bike (Yamaha YZ426F).


Fack me I'm feeling old now....

My father had a mate who sadly passed away earlier this year. He used to ride from his house in California over to Daytona, Florida for BikeWeek every year.
3000 miles over two days. On his last trip he was 82.

More hardcore than the rest of us combined

As for me? 29 and been biking on and off where circumstances would allow for about 10 years give or take, full time 365 days a year barring ice and snow for the last 3ish years

Will be 60 in october, bought my first bike aged 12 to ride around the fields, passed my test age 17 in 1968, ride an SV 1000 most days

I got my first bike in 1971, a Honda 125SS and have not being without a bike since then. My bikes is my main form of transport and I would travel about 15K miles per year.
