Who is the oldest Bull FOG on the board? When did you start riding and what was your first street bike?

Me, riding since 1980, my first ride was a '69 Honda CB450...red with lots of chrome. 8)

You asking about the wheel chair because of who is oldest, or who manages to fuck themselves up the most?
If it is the second option, I think I can play with the best of you (even if I am not all that old) :D

Whoa Jeff, you had flames coming off your bike in 74, and there's still flames coming off the bike in 06.


I've been riding since the mid 60's. The first bike was a 305 Honda Super Hawk. That was a lot of bike for me at the time.

Lee, you may have me edged for the oldest rider so far. Born in December.

age is found in the frame of the mind.... after many years of dirt-riding in the gravel pit, I started street riding in 71 when grandpa bought me a Kawasaki 350 (he rode it almost as much as I did..).

I'm only 50 mark but I make the Seniors in the injury department!

Yes, I recently had a head injury/etc but I've been cleared by the medical community ;)

Scruff Dog, rforsythe, anyone,

Does anyone know who has the dubious distinction of being the senior member of the club?

The oldest Bull?

The oldest Cow?

I'll be 58 on August 27th.

I believe the senior male would be Dalton. I have no idea who would be the senior-most female of the club. I would not probe very far on that one.... :lol:

Finally- a forum I can relate to. You guys may be old, but you sure haven't been riding very long. My first "street" bike was a 59 Ducati 200, got it for graduation in 65. Still riding Ducatis.

I would have been riding a lot longer if it weren't for my parents. I had to leave home to get my first motorcycle.

I remember in my mid-20's (owned a Honda CB750 by then) when my Dad dropped by my house one Saturday and asked me if I would mind if he purchased a life insurance policy on my life with him as the beneficiary; he thought I was a sure thing. :)

I remember when the motorcycle craze for power and speed started testing the waters in the early 80's.......Honda introduced the V45 and the V65. :lol: Then they thought they had the market wrapped with the CBX, the massive in-line 6 shoe horned sideways in the chasis......It looked like a 57 caddy with S**t hangin out all over..... :o :lol:

Not counting mini-bikes and a Honda c50 motorcycle when I was delivering the afternoon newspaper in the 60's at 11 yrs old (Indiana), the first bike would be a brand new '83 Honda V45 Sabre. My wife and I took it all over Michigan before four kids came along. Re-entry rider in '98.

My first bike was a Ducati 750, in 1976. Sold it after a year, figuring I was going to run into trouble on it. Off bikes for the most part until last year, when I figured commuting to work and canyon riding would be a good way to go.

Started riding in '72. Got my first bike in '76. It was a 74 Yamaha TY80 trials bike (I was 7). My dad's still got a '79 CBX with Kirker exhaust and Koni shocks. The thing is fast as all hell in a straight line!! Though I think his '84 RZ350 is faster in the straight line and certainly faster (and a lot more fun :D ) in the twisties.

After the obligatory Briggs & Stratton mini-bikes in '67 or so the family got a CT70 honda in '70.
Still can almost make out the waffle pattern burns on my leg.

First bike I owned myself was a 125 Suzuki dirtbike in '74 that I road on the street as much as the dirt.
(Gotta love a chainsaw with wheels. http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/forums/images/icons/icon12.gif)

Graduated to a '72 Yamadog R5 350 in '78 that I still have and has been an organ donor to this '74 RD350 cafe project.

First fourstroke was a Kawi Z900 I traded a friends wrecked trash-can triple and a couple hundred bucks for in the early '80's. Scary fast back in the day. Didn't have that too long...think I traded it for a chunk of hash and a Ford Pinto or something. :banghead:

Holy cr@p! That's my bike. '81 CB-750F in the same color. I started riding a Honda CB-100 on the street with a license in 1971. Got a Honda 350 a little later. Then the 750 in '81. Didn't ride for 20 years then got a spankin' '06 BMW K1200S.

The funny thing is I thought the '81 Honda 750 was a hot bike. Something like 70 HP? The BMW has 167.
