higuys,

bit new to this forum so go easy please

I currently ride a gixer 750 rizla rep, great over here in germany, v rare etc, but, and its a big but, i will soon be moving to uk again through work while the wife stays in germany, soooo loadsa miles uk - germany plus lots in uk, i love to ride!! i tested a gs12 last year, it did my commute quicker than my 'old' zx6!

however, i cant help but notice that all the guys i see riding these seem to be well into their 30's.
am just curious if there are any guys under 30 buzzing about, am already catching flack about being a grandad after doing the IAM thing!!

am going to buy anyway, just need some moral support!

Congratulations, you've just won the euphemism of the month award!

Either buy one now, in the knowedge that you'll soon be mistaken for someone far more mature and discerning or stick with your Suzuki with its faux race bike paint job.

Ouch, that hurts

but iguess i asked for it!! as i said on the bottom line, am going to buy, at 8700 for new with abs, grips and alloy panniers, i would be daft not to!!

There you go, bringing bloody IQ into the discussion......

Are you ready for it?

You know it's the right way. Just don't let on to all the other pocket rocketeers once you discover it for yourself otherwise we'll have all sorts of undesireable youths in our ranks.

Someone once told me that B*W stood for Bald Middle-aged Wonkers.

Don't know about the rest of the tossers but I'm not bald.

Just to let you know, it is somewhat of a custom with this lot to offer to bring over some Toratech stuff from Germany for everyone as you're doing the run!!

Skippy.

I bought an R90S in 1976 when I was 23, so perhaps I was an old fart very young?

Oh, and when the R100RS appeared I used to lust after a gold one. I still do.

What you've necountered is not an age thing. It's a maturity thing. You've realised that tearing round the place with your bum in the sky, head around knee level, legs twisted into near-impossible shape does not represent fun riding (at least not if you want to ride for more than 50 miles at a time).

And if you wish to take your wife for a ride, she'll no longer be perched on the back looking like a cherry on top of a trifle, her knees round her ears, and white with fright.

its only your mental age when you

ride them that counts
