    Since names are seen with the votes, I did not vote. Had it been anonymous, I would have voted.

    Let's just say that I watched God make dirt.

      Interesting. The little bar that let's you view poll results and who voted in which category disappears once you vote. Don't remember seeing the polls behave that way before.

        I wish I was younger, but I'm proud to have made it to at least 60.

          I didn't see any names pop up for those who already voted

          CORRECTION - I didn't see it when I first applied my vote but after going back into the results I can see names

            I had to LOL this morning, we were at an intersection and my Wife said "Look at that Car", it was a Beautiful 1967 Camaro. She noted "looks like an old man driving it". I pointed out that "Old men" are the guys that can afford classic cars..............

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

              I don't care if anyone knows that I am older than dirt and been riding that long about as well.

                There's been "Age Polls" done before...it's leaning heavy towards 60s and up. I'm just a pup at 51.

                  I'm 45 and I chose the "45-55" category and not the "35-45". Although maybe I should've chosen the latter since I'm not 45 and a half yet.

                  I had my 9th bikeaversary last week. Bought my first motorcycle, a 82GS550L, on 10/18/2008

                      Well, from my observations here, a good majority of us here have had 70s & 80s motorcycles since the 70s & 80s.... so what does that tell you.

                      I could select the next to last category, for another couple weeks yet.

                      .

                      Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.

                            "Old enough to know better but still too young to care" is my stock answer.

                            Right now there's a neat coincidence in the results. There are 33 responses, and all the percentages are doubles: 6.06%, 12.12%, 30.30%, 45.45%

                            Also, I notice a distinct gap in age distribution. At the moment there's nobody in the 35-45 range. 18.18% are below that and 81.81% are above it. That tells me we have two different populations:

                            1) Young folks who can't afford a new bike, and
                            2) Old folks remembering their ill-spent youth.

                              That 35-45 group may consist of many parents that may have given up the two wheel excitement for the sake of the kids. That description fit me too the tee. I got back on a bike 7 years ago when I turned 45 when the youngest of my progeny hit the age of 13.
