Oldest Spyder Rider

[MidTNDawg]

I am not the oldest, but much closer than I thought I would be. And keying of some of the responses, I first rode in '46-'47 on a Cushman which shifted with a lever under the seat on the left side. Yes, I know what a Doodlebug is; I rode one. Also Whizzers, Servicycles, a Safetycycle (only one I ever saw) and some others I suppose. As long as I can recall, anything with an engine and wheels has been, and still is, a fascination to me.

[QUOTE=SubDriver;908879]OK, who is the oldest (in years...not attitude) Spyder drive out there? I'm only 62 (in years....21 on the bug!)[/QUOTE


OK, I am 74 years YOUNG and ride as much as I want to. will be at Spyderfest 2015 in Springfield in April and the Black Hills in July (right before the big Sturgis 75th rally). Just don't do the long cross country stuff??? If I need to get somewhere with my Spyder far away, I trailer and then ride.

Dayam ! Here I thought I was up there at 71. And I still prefer to shift with my foot.

When can we start complaining about how the Roosevelts ruined the Country??

Or I suppose anytime you want to do so.

How could you have been a training instructor for the Doolittle Raiders of WWII. The war ended on September 2, 1945. You would have been 10 years old then??? I was 5 in 1945. Just asking?

The Doolittle Raiders mission was April 18, 1942. You were 7 then. Tell your "Patriot Friends " you were a "Child Prodigy"!

I think you have mised the quotes around the word Friend. It has been a joke aamong the SW Ohio PGR riders about how old I am. I have been "accused" of being the Wight Brothers Flight instructor, Crossing th Alp with Hannibal and few other things. I am probably 10 years or so older then most of them. I am also the only one going backwards on mission in my trike. HD, Honda, BMW, Star and even a Boss Hoss trike.

Unles the family is present on funeral Missions, then the conversation is to pay respect to and Honor the familys. If you are a PGR member, you will understand what that means. If not not. PatriotGuard.org or PatriotGuardRiders. org. In Ohio OhioPGR.org. A vedio on why we ride

We have one gent here in Southern Ontario .....88 in this photo. This was snapped a couple of years back, and he's still making appearances on his Spyder around town and dealer rides. must be 89 or 90 now. Photo was of him picking up his new machine at the dealer.

He was the coolest guy! He doesn't just own an RT he RIDES his RT. Over the Labor Day weekend he was going on the 3 Flags Ride which starts in AZ, they cross the Mexican border then ride all the way to Canada over the 3 day weekend. He moved to Eureka to be with his girlfriend (now his wife). She is a good 25 years younger than him and is also a rider.

He wasn't real thrilled with the group rides at Spyders in the Redwoods though, he said they all rode too slow for him.

That's awesome Ann! I would have to agree with him on the Rydes being too slow, but I rode right behind him, and well let's just say that, he was not hell on wheels. I can only hope though, that I can still Ryde at his age at a time when I have time on my hands! Very nice man and he knew so much about the history of the area.
