Title: OK, we want to get an age distribution of members Post by Oldfeller on 12/01/10 at 19:25:43 Just vote once for your correct age span. I have a curiosity as to the centers of the two lumps of the bimodal distribution that this thing is likely to show. |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by stinger on 12/02/10 at 01:12:56 Maybe in the not too far future, we can start one of those mobility scooter clubs after we hang up our bikes. You know "We get around on our Hoveround" We can wear colors and ride in parades and stuff. |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Routy on 12/02/10 at 05:41:52 I still have my old 2 wheel Zappy scooter for when I get too old to ride ! I even have a seat kit for it that I never put on. I wonder if they make a trike kit for it. I mite need at least 3 wheels by then ! |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by babyhog on 12/02/10 at 05:52:05 I voted for myself, of course. My 2 boys are both under-20 and ride a Savage, but they aren't part of this forum... yet.... |

Sluggo, I assume by "new fangled" you mean the kind that you don't have to crank so that you can get the operator and tell her who you want to talk to. |

You can see my snake wrapped around my belly and below that my pet anaconda Rufie's head is sticking out cause he's hungry.

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by MotoBuddha on 12/02/10 at 11:21:07 Bunch of old farts like me. I'm trying to imagine if we ever had a rally. Probably spend as much time talking about health problems as motorcycles. ;D |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by PerrydaSavage on 12/02/10 at 11:43:53 Starin' down the barrel of 50 :( ... been told I could easily pass for someone 10+ years younger ... and most days I feel a lot younger too, but this year has been tuff on me personally, so these days not so much ... |
|
Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Oldfeller on 12/02/10 at 13:14:36 Actually, we do have a yearly rally in the NC mountains. Mostly we talk about scraping pegs, fixing minor bike issues and occasionally some minor road rash. |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Boule’tard on 12/02/10 at 13:20:49 I hope nobody ever refers to my age as "_____ years young" because that's when you know you're old. Nobody says that about someone who is actually young. |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Jimmer on 12/02/10 at 13:26:05 To young to quite, but to old to give a dang. Turning 62 December 23rd. |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Oldfeller on 12/02/10 at 14:29:18 Well, if anyone asks if the Savage is a beginners bike or a girly bike, you now have proven knowledge that it is really the "preferred old fart's motorcycle". Distribution is losing the bimodal effect as more and more members ring in -- could pass as "approaching a normal curve" status even now. |
|
Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Serowbot on 12/02/10 at 15:19:01 Instead of an "Ol' farts" bike,... could we refer to it as an experienced veteran motorcyclists bike?.... I'd feel a lot better about that... It might even give me the willpower to hold in my farts in public... You never know... :-?... |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by RC on 12/02/10 at 20:46:22 If you had waited till august to ask I would have moved into the next group as I will be 60 then. Just in case that matters to anyone. |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Oldfeller on 12/03/10 at 18:27:31 Not growing old, is that why we go up to the mountains every year? If we survive, we have proven to ourselves that we aren't old yet? I'm still 26-28 in my heart, my hair has just started turning funny colors .... |

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 12/03/10 at 19:58:34 I voted 30 to 39 but next year I will 40 as I turn 39 on the 10th of this month. |

You have to look at it differently. You can retire at any age that you can afford or adapt your lifesyyle to You will still be able to draw ss at 62,....its only the amount changing.

When I fully retired at 62, it was like I got a big raise,... started drawing ss (at the lesser amount) When I turned 64, I moved to Oregon, (born and raised in Ca) and that was like I got a huge raise (lower cost of living) When I was 65 medicare kicked in,.....kinda like I got another small raise thru less expensive healthcare.

Title: Re: OK, we want to get an age distribution of memb Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 12/22/10 at 08:42:02 An old gentlemen of 102 years old walks into an insurance office asking for life insurance. agent: I'm sorry sir, but due to your age, we can't insure you. We feel you are too big of a risk at 102 years old. old timer: So because I am over a hundred you won't insure me? agent: I'm afraid so sir. old timer: Tell me young man, why exactly am I too big of a risk? I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't do anything that is considered life threatening. agent: It's your age sir. Even with your very healthy lifestyle, we just can't risk insuring you. Old timer: Would you insure a 65 year old? agent: yes old timer: How many of them have passed away in the past year? agent looks up the statistics and quotes the rather sizable number of natural deaths of 65 year old men. old timer: Now look up how many 102 year old men have passed away. The agent does so, and notices the very small number compared to his previous search. old timer: So you're now telling me that you will insure someone who is more likely to die at 65 than someone who is less likely to die at 102? The agent granted the policy. |
