Just noticed an 83 year old joined the group.
I just turned 76, so I thought of this:
Age survey: man up, post it !
Cheers! 8-)
me: 76

You can create a poll.....like this!

Zipadachimp and Ruttly will have to add their votes to be included.

Yeah, I hit the 61/70 button, but I'm pretty high mileage, and I joined this outfit in 05, when I was quite young.

I hit that 51-60 button while I still can. I’m coming up on 50 years of riding! Great memories and friendships.

71-80 button

I also ride a Harley, so I guess I'm also part of the soon to be extinct demographic that, if you believe the conventional wisdom, represents the last gasp of a dying brand.

There must still be a sh*tload of us out there though, Easily 7 out of 10 of the bikes I run across when I'm out and about are Harleys.

the numbers are high for 50+, or does that mean we're just more likely to vote? Is there a percentage of respondents?

EDIT: I guess I can see the numbers of respondents at least.

well, I got my savage when i was 18, I'm 35 now. Guess I was a young fogey back then.

I voted, but I don't think it worked. I'm a relatively youthful 70. Eyes ears work, arms and legs sort of, brain 75/80% good, intestines and bowels ok. Teeth mainly stuff the dentist put in. Hair, some of it. Mind a little dubious.

just getting used to her, lots of smiles ahead 8-)

bought it with 3K on the odo and now it has just shy of 10k, but I have not ridden in the last 4 years, hoping to change that very soon.

well with this poll showing this forum's population is over 60% over 60 years (as of this post), makes me glad to be in the presence of wise old guys. or is that old wise guys?

Title: Re: Is the S40 attracting young fogeys ?
Post by jcstokes on 02/15/20 at 10:23:33

medic 1898, it's probably a mix of both.

I got my first savage in 1996 at the age of 27. Have had 6 more savages since, and hence I am much younger now.

Cool.
