OK, you young people have had your time to brag. So, how about the oldest member of the MB Forum? I turned 81 this past September and still look forward to riding every day weather permitting that is.

are you talking 'oldest age' or oldest member (one whose been a forum member longest)?..
Professional nerd, Cube dweller, and wannabe Evil Overlord (OK, maybe not too evil or lord over more than I can manage...well, on second thought make that Suburbanite just trying to make his way in the world as best he can)

Hi: i am 77 years old, living in MN, ride a Buddy 170,every day to coffee and around town! Some people look at me and wonder What the HELL is his problem? They are just jealous! Love every minute of it. Ride on people life is long! issue31 (38 deg this morning, grate ride!)
will turn 65 in a week or so. won't be riding for a while since i tripped on the dog gate @3am sunday morning and broke the hummerous bone in my left arm. sheesh. welcome to Medicare! seriously, i just started Medicare coverage on 11/1; thought i'd make my first claim a doozey. LOL
The mind does tend to follow its own path, like that time during the war, members of my unit and I where walking through Honolulu when out of the snow laden pine wood miles from anchorage the moose charged and skinny bob got thrown overboard into the tropical water off fiji.... Oh, 51...

I'm 67 years young, and ride my Buddy 70 (formerly 50) year round in Colorado. It's a 2008 and has 17,100 miles so far. 20,000 seems quite reachable now. Who knows who will outlive whom. I do know the little guy is keeping me young at heart.

I thought it might be you, Bill!
Me? I'm 59. 60 in February. Plan to ride until I drop over.
I have no intention of quitting riding. Just converted my 170i to a T
TowPac trike to accommodate my bum knees. Also still have the TGB tug/hack, as well as an ATV and the old Honda 400 to play with. Funny thing is that I now get 'the wave' from all the motorcycle riders!!
Growing old is inevitible, being old is not.
So be your self. Every one else is already taken!
Wow I'm in my mid 20s so definitely nowhere close on that front. But I will say that it gives me great hope that you all are still up and having a blast! Sorry to hear about your arm though scullyfu.
My dad is retiring in a year or two, maybe I'll gift him a scooter when he does.
