    It would not seem unreasonable to assume there are KBers between twenty and forty years old.

    good point not sure what you call the ones born after 2000 but most of'm think they're entitled, while our kids are between 43 & 23 they were brought up old school

    Probably most of the people I know in meatspace who are on this site are millenials now I think about it. So young, but in their 30s now. Not sure what that means. I'm not getting older surely.

    There was a great North and South cover with a scared millenial hiding under the covers in a living at home article. Heck my kids are gen Z but next is gen alpha.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Gen Z. Still at home with Mum and Dad.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    You are officially an old cunt., a very rare type of motorbicyclist.

    Jesus titty fucking christ, listen to you lot. Judging away as though you've mastered life and all that surrounds you.

    There's so much irony I'm choking.

    We've all clearly lost our way since you eased back on posting so many pearls of wisdom on here as you used to Drew.

    Have you given up sidecar racing too because I was wondering who we should have been supporting otherwise at the Suzuki series?
    Cheers

    Just poking my head in the door.

    First visit back in 3 years. I went looking for my old ride stories,had to dive into the archives. Photobucket has locked all the images I used to post to the stories. , I recognize some names,
    Rode for 48 years, sold the last bike August 2016, and haven't ridden since. Still look at motorbikes when they go past, but I have never had the inclination to get on one again. I miss the roads, and mates i rode with but, grandkids, photography (bloody near as costly as motorcycling) take my time now.

    Yes, came here originally for the Racing Thread. Riding 55 yrs now, but in the last gasp really.
    Thinking a big naked bike, may extend it a bit ?

    If not, the wife said by a Lotus or something to keep amused ? lol

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

    Sounds pretty much the same as me! Riding for 54 years, minus a short spell when we moved to NZ in '75. Stuffed knees and getting older but still wanting performance led me to buy the Duke 790 in March. The light weight and ergonomics makes it a dream to ride. I also thought about a Lotus 7 replica for when I give up bikes. However, my wife had a MazdaSpeed-prepared MX-5 for a few years which was fun to drive on the odd occasion but it could never replace a bike. We've got a Stabicraft for sea fishing and in reality, I think that will be my fall-back interest when I flag bikes.

    Hope that I can keep riding for a while yet. I had an eye operation for a badly torn retina on Monday and I'm not allowed to drive for a couple of weeks. Really hoping to get full use of both eyes back or giving up bikes might be sooner than I planned!
