    I wanna be like Reg Scott.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...000-miles.html



    Reg Scott is still burning rubber as Britain's oldest motorcyclist - aged 94.


    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    My too. Doesn't look half bad for 94 and he can still get his leg over

    I agree... 640,000km shouldn't be too hard

    Probably covered about 200,000 in 6 years, and if I keep my current rate of mileage I should probably need about another 10 years

    Who cares what speed he rides?

    It is proven by observation (and probably by some biological science) that you get slower in old age. Also, it's called a stereotype. Outliers exist everywhere.

    I think the norm would be like 75+. And when I say slow, I'm not talking about the speed of the vehicle..
