I think we must all be the same, I am 39yrs old and still riding like a french teenager on a scooter. However i think the KTM brand can shoulder some of the blame, everyone expects you to be wheelying out of every corner and taunting all sports bike riders that get in your way

isn't that how its ment to be or did I read the destructions wrong?!

I'm a positively elderly 54 and it has changed my life.....

I can't stop wanting to overtake, filter and generally ride like someone 'a tad younger' than me. On my Triumphs I was fairly sedate and almost a good citizen but that has all gone now.

I'm too old to want to start doing wheelies or silly speeding as I have a life, business and wife to protect but I have become more of a loon since I got the 950 in July.

Same here at 56,it's more than a bike,it's a life experience.

i,m just lookin at the age,s bein posted up here and we all seem to be close to the crumbly department, must be the same in england (ie)insurance,licence restrictions all the usual crap turnin the younger lads off gettin bikes,

Lads will allus get bikes,whit this shews is that after a lifetime of riding (40 years for me) that anyone with a soul gets a 950sm,it's that simple.

ya could be right zzzak,i look at some of the fellas in the pub the same age as me if not younger and they act twice thier age it,s like they thrive on bein an old man, where as i have the mentality of a four year old so i may as well act that way (it works for me)

Lol,yep you got it,I also am four sometimes,aren't we all?
