Hmmm..... Let's see here, Trying in hold onto my income, three teenage daughters but Dad wants a new 1150 GS, Trying to hold in an ever expanding waistline, After a recent 14 hour day on the KLR, holding my sore butt And trying to hold on to some youthful exuberance! Steve A11

I just woke up from my nap and see we are talking about age. I'm 70+ and in pretty good shape for the condition I'm in. Not sure that riding a KLR has had anything to do with living longer but it sure makes it fun. My Alice says . . .'when you rest you rust'. George Escondido, CA

I was 41. I've been riding since I was 12, but quit in '92 when too many close calls on the street. I was getting surly and depressive, so my wife made me get a bike. I don't ride as much in traffic as I used to. The Prickly Pear, Saguaro, and Cholla cactii are more predictable than the cars. (It is easier to pull a thorn out of my ass than a car). I am 21 now and feeling much better. I guess the average would be 31 for me. This looks like another opportunity for the database area. E.G. How old are you? How old do you feel? -Lance A14 (Godzilla) in Tucson

overdo it still on the backroads and trails. I'm wondering if i'm severly out of shape or the rest of you guys are youngsters! How old are the group members? Let's here it. ====================================================================== OK! I'm 59 Gary in Michigan

43 here, outside of Phoenix. KLR is my first bike; got it last year to see the Southwest. Hope to get a sport tourer (maybe an ST1100) in the next year. Definitely seeing a demographic forming on this thread: Male, grown- up, likes to have fun, maybe a little higher on the individual/self- reliance scale, maybe a little lower on the wanta-be-part-of-a-big- crowd scale.

Dan, Yup, at 48, I'm with you, can't think of a better way to go. Marshall in Afton, Ok '95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)
