Yeah I put that in there to see if anyone would catch it. No one caught me slipping in "Titanic" in the Best War Movies thread.  I'm 26.

Well on the outside I am 48. But, my 48 year old friends are so damn old.

I refuse to give in (or grow up).

I saw the titanic post, but by that point was so disappointed with thread I didn't care. You're 26? Now I'm REALLY disappointed. I thought I was the youngest one here. Boo.

This age discussion has made me wonder if the age of the person is related to the bike.

I'm 59, ride a C-10.
Others, age "and bike" please??

Ride safe, Ted

Well, I'm 28 and ride a 2003 C10 that I picked up cheap. My wife and I are expecting our second child (another boy, NICE!) in August, which meant I had to get rid of the Harley payment.

I've never even considered riding a "sport" oriented bike before, but I'm sure having fun with this one!

Pretty sure there's no correlation between ages and bike years, Ted....I think it's more of a monetary thing...some of us are in a more advantageous position than others to afford the newer years...I'm 55 and ride a '91 that I squeezed $1000 hard-earned dolllars out for....

I hear ya Tim.
In my case, I ain't rich but I could buy a C-14 if I really wanted one. (I could do it, but I would hafta give up eating for a year or 2)
But I (and more importantly,,, my BRIDE/Boss) prefer the C-10 because of the weather protection/creature comforts/etc....

I was a bit suprised by this discussion because there were so many that are below 45. I always assuemed that the majority of Connie Riders were over 45....
Then I realized that the younger guys might all be on C-14's...

Ride safe, Ted

I dislike the styling of most modern sport bikes, including the C14. I really am a cruiser guy, and the C10 is about as sporty as I'm ever likely to get. I could only afford it by selling my Harley, which, other problems aside, do hold value reasonable well, as long as you own it for at least 3 or 4 years. Long enough to get over that "drove it off the lot" drop in value.

MiniCog is around 12, so you aren't quite the youngest.
