What is the Oldest Dirt Rider You Know ?
Does he have a girlfriend ? And a wife ? Does he have a new Tatoo ? Can he really ride or does he just hang out and talk a lot ? Last of all what does he ride ? So how about it who is the MAN ?

Ted Del Solar
Used to live in Illinois, think he lives in Michigan now. One year at the Turkey Creek Enduro in Goshen, Indiana (2011?) I stopped to help a rider who was pinned under a bike, Man was I surprised to see it was Ted! Talked to him about it a year or two later, still sharp as a tack, that guy would have been 82 then, heard he rode the Jack pine last year. Ted is quite an individual, and an inspiration to us all.

Joe Galie he was a local ECEA hero unfortunately he made it to the last known control earlier this year. At 79 he was at every ECEA enduro. Was a true inspiration to see out on the trail.
Here is a news story on him a few years ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4aGO8yEFfY |

I'm new here on the GG forum. I'll be 70 in a month. No hero, I'm afraid. Just an old guy that still likes bikes. Been riding since about '71, I think. My new to me GG XC200 yesterday on it's maiden voyage after leaving my shop (from being made rideable again) We're at the Wayahutta ATV trails in W. NC. Me on Deal's Gap this summer Also ride a plated '06 KTM EXC 450. The end of this month I'll do a two day off road ride with 3 friends from Ohio .It's annual Halloween ride they do up in Mich. One's 77, the other two are 71 or 2. I'm bringing my grandson along (on my 450 while I ride the GG) otherwise, I'd be the youngster in this group. The guys I rode with yesterday are 60 and early/mid 60's. There's lots of us old guys still riding. Been married 52 yrs come this Feb. Most of my older riding friends have been married similar lengths of time. Haven't checked any of 'em for Tat's though. Sorry. No girlfriends either, that I'm aware of. RB |

Motorhead "LIKES" all the above post ;-)!
I love motorcycles so much, dirt bikes especially, that reading about people still enjoying the rush of two wheels into the "golden Years" just makes me like, all warm n fuzzy an stuff. You know, like rainbows and unicorns/blue skies and puffy white clouds thinking I'll still be poppin' wheelies at 60, or 70, or... Hats off to anyone who is still riding at 60+ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Killer thread!

One of the guys I ride with regularly hit 61 (Bill E) a while back and there's still no way I can keep up with him (helps that he's fast and I'm slow...lol). Another guy I ride with on occasion is 72 (I think), he's still rocking the trails and technical single track - did a poker run with him last weekend and here's a shot of our group navigating a section of steep slippery stuff in the OR coast range. |
