30 something

[maybe]

Married with kids is only an excuse for those that are not seriously into there riding :

should I rush out and make someone preganant?

Yes! Good book says, "go forth and multiply and replenish the earth" (back me up Zed )

I'm 38 now, took up biking when I was 36 and had never been on a bike before that. Tis never too late. Prefer to ride alone but if I happen along another rider on the road tis all good too.

Badlieutenant - I don't quite belong in the "30-something" demographic though - and I can't say it's because i haven't reached there yet!!

No,but you could have said it's because you've already passed right through it

When the kids were young and I was not working all I had was a Honda 250 trail. But most of my spare time was salmon fishing so the biking bit was way on the back foot. However if you are going to have children or already have them there is no contest. Would I sooner go off biking or fishing or spend time with the kids and their friends and parents (our friends) etc. No contest. The kids come first hands down. They are a hell of a lot of fun. You have them for such a short time enjoy them while you can 'cause oneday they'll be gone. Now I ride when I can.

When I was that age all I could afford was a Honda XL350, top speed 130km and change, tons of torque and fun on tar-seal with knobbly tyre on a wet day.

i find my problem is keeping the motorcycle in running condition.
hopefully it'll be 100% early next week.

Married.

No kids. No urge to have them (understatement of the year - we've actually both yelled at anyone who asks "When you going to have kids then?" We never, ever want them).

Both ride bikes. She isn't tall enough to ride mine, but I get the go-ahead to ride hers if she is away or it needs dropping at the dealers or whatever when she is at work.

Seems like a good solution to me!
