...at a youthful 55, I am nowhere near the age of some of the blokes I am racing with in our club...a few around 70,four are closer to 80, one who races a pre 89 is that age...still fast, skilled and young at heart, all of them...

Bob Grover has missed racing two, yes two, Cemetery Circuits since 1962. once he had a broken leg the other time his bike was still returning from him racing at the isle of man.

what a winner!! dont forget Bernie Johnston tho racing NZSBK on his R1 up till he was 62, only reason why he stopped was due to health problems but now flys planes instead!!

Haven't retired yet at 57, least that's what I keep telling myself ... just waiting for the work thing to improve so I can actually buy stuff ... like food ..... and tyres.
Definitly aiming to try and save enough moola to do the 30th SOT

[Muzzab]

I'm a bit young for the thread at 46, but started late, about to do my 4th Greymouth Street Races, so been racing about 3 1/2 years.
Started with a bucket, now have a Pre82 bilke as well, by the time I'm 50 I'll be up to Pre89 all going well.
