Author Message   Kensbuell Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 04:59 pm:        ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE AVERAGE AGE OF A BUELL OWNER? AFTER THE ORLANDO BUELL MEETING THIS WEEK WE WERE WONDERING OF THE AGE GROUP.WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AROUND THE MID TO LATE 20S BUT I THINK WE WERE WRONG.I WOULD LOVE ANY INPUT YOU GUYS HAVE.   Jb2 Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 05:03 pm:        Most Buell owners I know are pushin' fifty or are already old farts!   Sleez Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 05:04 pm:        try here; http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/239693.html looks like avg is closer to 40, i by the way am 40 now!   Kensbuell Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 05:08 pm:        THANKS SLEEZ THAT WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.   Diablobrian Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 05:14 pm:        I was going to say, dejavu!   Kensbuell Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 05:18 pm:        THANKS SLEEZ THAT WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.   Dragon_slayer Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 07:51 pm:        I was going to say, dejavu! I would say closer to 45.   Dragon_slayer Posted on Friday, January 12, 2007 - 07:52 pm:        Reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day!   Slaughter Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 09:09 pm:        Except some of us are older since the last time this subject came up. Not gonna mention names ...   Tx05xb12s Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 09:44 pm:        Our average age surprised me too. I would have never guessed sportbikes appealed to anyone other than youngsters and crazy folks like me. I'm 34 and figured I'd be an old fart on the Buell scene before I started getting to know you guys. I'm pleasantly surprised to know that I'm not surrounded with squids here. I'm betting the average age would be lower for the rice burner sportbike crowd. At least that's all I ever see riding them anyway. Don't get me wrong though. I'd love to have something like a GSXR1000 as a 2nd bike or a track bike.   Xb9ser Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 11:03 pm:        well I am 49. When Bubba worked at Tilleys he said alot of younger riders would come in and want a Buell, but the insurance was to high.As far as rice burner crowd being younger I have a lady friend who is 50 and rides a souped up CBR 600.And she will put most younger riders to shame!   Cowboy Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 11:29 pm:        Age is just a N0. I have a buell and a v-rod and trade rides with ny friends on thier gsxr 750 and 1000 I am past 70 he he he   Tx05xb12s Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 12:24 am:        That's awesome Cowboy. You're just the kind of guy I'm proud to know rides a Buell.   Kano832003 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 05:29 am:        <---23.   Redefine420 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:36 am:        I turned 25 yesterday.   Barker Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:45 am:        Redefine420, I will be turning 25 in july. I have got one question for ya. Who did did you get your driving ability from. I know we get a nice discount on our insurance when we turn 25. I was just wondering where my instant driving ability would come from. Did you get yours in the mail? I cant wait.   Bo_sox Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 10:39 am:        33 and counting for myself! 27 and counting for my old (younger) lady! Both of us on Buells 'till we meet the reaper!!!   David91741 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 11:13 am:        59 "used but not abused" Well abused a little   Bake Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 11:45 am:        Nuthin average about us!   Carparts009 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 12:31 pm:        You guys are right about the rice crowd. I just bought a 04 R6 and the R6 forum just did an age average. The average came out to be in the range of 20-23, which makes me average there while here I guess I would be considered quite young.   Ftd Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 12:45 pm:        Hey Ken, I bet you were a bit surprised about how many geezers showed up at the shop Wed. night (other than Isham and Dustin). I just turned 52. Frank   Imeazy Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 01:22 pm:        I'm 39 right now, but purchased my S2T when I was 28. I'll more than likely keep it until I die.   Vaneo1 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 01:49 pm:        sheesh... whata a buncha old farts!!   Rainman Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 03:01 pm:        Turning 49 in March. My dad turns 76 in May. We're going riding together in July   Percyco Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 04:02 pm:        I have heard of "Geezer Glides", this must be one !   Shellyo Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 04:32 pm:        Been riding since 1968 and currently own 3 bikes including my 1998 S1W. ... I just turned 61!   Old_man Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 04:48 pm:        62, but feel much younger in my mind. Body feels - 62   Iamike Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 06:41 pm:        I tried growing up once, I didn't like it!   Diablobrian Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 07:18 pm:        I'm 37, even if I walk like I'm 73!   Cityxslicker Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 12:01 am:        I would say 42, the answer to life, the universe, everything as we know it. Actually it is more like 38 for our dealership. Most are in 30s, acouple 40s, and one over 50, two in their twenties. I would say that it is a more experience rider that has had japanese in the past and is returning to riding, wanting a bike that is quick, sporty, but not uncomfortable.
