    Default How old are you?

    Did a search and didn't find a thread on this. Just curious as to what the overall age demographics is.

    I am 73

    Thx
    Rick

    73. rode two wheels longer than I can remember. Been riding my F3-T for about 3 months now and would never go back to two wheels. Too much fun on my trike.

    I’m only a couple of years shy of the octogenarian group and totally agree with the comment about help getting off the floor.
    With that said, we appear to have “highjacked” the thread, and for this I apologize!

    I'm close to the center of my eighth decade of life, meaning I'm 74.

    Tried to get up after kneeling down on my "good" knee. The thigh muscle was not as strong as I thought and I fell back onto the right angle of my concrete basement wall. My back is now covered in scuffs, scrapes and band aids. Life sucks sometimes. That is the second time I have fallen over in the past couple of weeks. Kinda saps ones confidence.

    I’m 52 and, as I’m still working, mostly use my 2018 F3s as a commuter vehicle doing 75 miles round trip every day as weather permits. Relatively new to riding with about 3 years exclusively on Spyders. My wife has an identical machine except for color, has ridden many years on 2 wheels and she doesn’t ride hers as much as mine. As for her age well…. she’s turned 21 (again) quite a few times and I can’t be any more specific than that

    Hey goat, for your own safety get yourself to your doctor; those falls can kill us. Tell the doc you need physical therapy to help some of those muscles help you. Be safe!
