• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Turning 60 next month, age is nothing but a number and I did all that responsible junk for 30+ years and decided to go back to being a kid, without all the :cus:. The ex stayed in CT and from what I gathered got remarried, while I moved to the beach. Best move I ever made and should have done it years ago. :ohyea:
 
Old is relative. A simple explanation of Einstein's theory of relativity.
= I ride my son's Busa i feel 26, My son ride's my Spyder he feel's 64.
:spyder:
Two basic things to remember:

1. You're only as old as you act!
2. It's not the age, it's the mileage!
 
43 here, and I was also surprised by the number of people that have checked the top bracket so far. That is very cool in my book, and hopefully I will still be able to ryde when I am in that bracket as well. :2thumbs:
 
I liked the "Handles" post a lot better....

I agree that the categories are poorly done. It should be 30-39, etc. as posted before. I vote for starting over.

And there needs to be a 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 and maybe even an 80-89 category.

The 50-60+ is really 50 to whatever and for those of us less than 60 we would like to stay in the lowest bracket possible! :D
 
I get a kick out of all the age deniers- your only as old as you feel, age is just a number etc.
I'm 63 and claim the senior citizen discount all the time in coffee shops etc, I have my National Parks Senior Pass- $10 lifetime.
The problem isn't with being old, the problem is our American fixation on youth. In past times, and still in many nations old people get respect. We deny our age here because it is not respected.
 
The last time someone asked my age, was when I had to go get my motorcycle endorcement, for my FL License.

I was asked by one of the other students, if it was true I hadn't owned or rode a bike in over 30 years? I said that's true. He than asked if I minded him asking how old I was? I said not at all and told him and the other's in my class, that I've been 39 for the last 20 years.

They all looked at me and I said, if Jack Benny could be 39 his whole life, so can I and one new young rider said, Who's Jack Benny? Well!!!:roflblack:

The guy that asked me my age, thought I was in my late 40s to early 50s and not pushing 60. I told him for me 40 years old was hard to accept but, once I get past 40, 50 is a breeze and after that, its how you feel inside. I feel like a kid and have fun everyday, no matter what I might be feeling as far as aches and pains. I was told after an accident, I would have to learn to live with this pain and moving to a warmer climate has helped me a lot.

Like Nancys Toy says, "It's not age, it's the mileage!":thumbup:

I just turned 68 on Dec 8. A true WWII baby for those who know history. As a 60 yr polio survivor I'm totally happy to still be playing with these toys. As for those who make fun of our age, I remind them that they hope to get here too, right??? :clap:
