I have seen quite a few retirement homes billboards with a old guy on a Spyder RT but who cares. I like the Spyder, although it’s just RS I like, that’s all that matters. I have more fun on Spyder than anything I had before.

150
Since my wife an I ryde together most times, perhaps we should answer according to our combined ages = 150 (as of June 2018). That will push the average higher, but perhaps is justified because of her tendency to dictate just how, when, where I should drive the Spyder. Any resulting performance is jointly produced!!!

Hell, I thought that I was older than dirt and have been saying it for a couple of years now, and your telling me that I’m wrong? I’m 75 and still doing 300 mile (not km’s) day rides in 95* F temps, which I liken to blast furnace temps. and yes everyone, keep hydrated while out riding (or while sitting at home) in these temps.

I'll be 68 this year I didn't start riding again until I was 62, on 2 wheels then. I can attest after attending KC Spyder Riders meetings that many are older than me and only a few are younger.

What the....
This thread is so old it's back from the dead!
Still in my late 50's, kicking and screaming about being dragged into the next decade. But I've embraced AARP on account of the senior discounts that members get.

This thread died in 2010 but came back to life this month. Scanning through the old posts was fun. Most posts were from people who were unfamiliar. And, I agree with akspyderman. The age of us spyder owners seems to have "matured". At 71, I don't help to lower the average.....

Huh? There is only one species, the human species. "Race" is subordinate to, and within, species. Per Merriam-Webster: (emphasis added)
RACE noun.
a : an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (such as a subspecies) representing such a group
b : breed
c : a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits
If your statement were true, then it logically follows that there is only one breed of dogs, the dog breed. Right?
