Default Who is the oldest Gasser here????

Me, 69 and not really proud of it. It is said, "Youth is such a wonderful thing but such a crime to waste it on the young.

Coming up 68 - just rebuilt a 2007 300 and got a 2015 250.

I ride enduro through Track and Trail, Green lanes and have a go on a couple of Mx tracks.

This is UK .

73 here.

Started riding dirt in '71 or so. Raced mx from '72 till '83. Still have the last bike I raced on a regular basis, a '80 Montesa VF414F.

Current stable is '13 BMW F800R for street, '01 GG XC 200 off road , a '17 Husky FE 250 for dual sport & a '96 Suzuki DR 350S dual sport (that someone gave me)

No mx , but still enjoy trail riding & more off road oriented dual sport.

RB

Default How to stay fit

I guess the biggest thing is do not quit. I played soccer in league play until I was 57, still miss it. I ran 10K's until two years ago and lifted weights. For the past two years about all I have done is ride and keep up 7 acres of land. I know I am not what I was when riding moto-x back in the day but I still feel smooth when hooking it down the trails. My best advice is learn to let the bike do the work when riding. Thanks to all here being nice to us old guys.

I'm 67. Find a method of exercise that you can do almost daily. I run 3 to 6 miles about five times per week. It helps to hold off on injuries because you stay in shape.
