Too young for a Wing?

[MarkB]

I was just told I'm not old enough to ride a Goldwing.

I never saw anywhere there was a minimum age requirement for Wing ownership :read:

Which brings about a bigger question; how old are most Goldwing owners? I'm 51 and I thought for sure I was qualified.

How about you?

Not old enough for a "Wing, that's funny.

I'm 49 and wanted a Goldwing when I was 18.

I guess I'm out of the club too then.... I'm 47 :Awe:

If you're past loud exhausts and like riding more than wrenching, you're mature enough for a Wing, age has nothing to do with it.

Oh for crying out loud! Who said that? Tell them to read the book by Emilio Scotto:

He was quite young and did more riding on his totally dressed out wing than most people do on any bike....

Hang in there young fella, there are riders on here younger than you I believe....

No Brian I don't. I can't even remember seeing a rig of anykind around here @ all. I do see them on the hwy but not around town. When I went on "The Ride for Sight" in 1992 in Toronto I saw many beautiful rigs that looked like they were just flown off the Starsip Enterprise. Angela. :Egyptian: :yahoo:

Here is the site for the club...they don't have much info up but they do have info on the yearly rally. I will try to make that one as well since I am going to the USCA rally in Coer'delene, ID this summer. Everyone is welcome to these rallies especially trikes so if you make either one I may see you there....

You're right about not much up on that site only thing is thescant info about the Midway rally & that was this past summer. :doh: :doh:

 

[MarkB]

I've wanted a Wing since I was a teenager. My brother in law got an early one and I remember it well. I thought it was the coolest thing. I got a chuckle from my coworker's insistence I was too young. Glad all of you got a laugh from it, too! :salute:

Wow, I didn't even notice that....I will have to do some research to find out if there will be one this year....they are typical laid back Canoodlians and will decide on stuff like that sometime....

hehehe

:shock: WHUT?!?!? Too young fer a 'Wing?

Well I never.... :headscratch:
I'm 52(goin on 13)....I had a new 'Wing in '78, but it was too big/heavy for my skinny little hunnert & 25 pound butt back then. It had nothin to do with how old I was. This ain't yer father's olds, or yer Granpa's Buric, either. I think Big Andrew is in his 20s, and there are prolly plenty more here that are in their 30s. Whadya s'pose to ride, then...a :moped:?

This is AMERICA..ride whut ya wanna ride! :yahoo:

 

[sledge]

I'm 60 ....... and I think I'm OLD enough , and I really don't think we ever get too old. :music:

 

[joedrum]
