That'll be Me!, decrepit old twot. He lies about his age, as well as his height and waist size.

I'd be more interested in who actually still owns and rides a 'Bird, never mind their age.

I'll start.

I do. 53y.o. (youngerer than Poo-Plop)

Me too. Had it for 20 of my 62 years. Won't be the oldest though I'm betting....

66 and have my Bird 22 years. Probably one of the youngest auld fellas on site.

Well I'm older than Jaws!!!!
My brother gave up the Burgman 650 at 82.

Oldandbald · 2/9/22

Fuck off nobody is older than Jaws.

Oldandbald · 2/9/22

I'm sure this is him third from the left holding a can of easy start.

I am at 80 but sadly was persuaded to sail yachts rather than ride bikes. Yachts are a feckin lot slower.

Well I know that I'm now the 2nd youngest at 49, had my Bird for 13 years.

Oldandbald · 2/9/22

I've got socks older than you.

Squag1 · 2/9/22

74
But I've just been told that I have mild arthritis in knee and hip on same side.
I was very uncomfortable last outing on Bird

Man up. You can't sell the bird or you'll be taking up golf and boring the shit out of us on here.

Not under threat of death.
Father-in-law failed completely in that respect.

I don’t have a waist size. My trolleys fit under my arms these days. I’m 94 tomorrow and still growing. But I do have hair pie boy.

59 years young and still got my blue Bird.

But float better. I know this having launched several motorised bicycles off Beachy Head.
