if you close one eye, squint with the other, wear industrial ear protection and don't ride it maybe :lol
51 and love nothing better than riding my baby hard over the Mountain on the TT course on the Isle of Man where I live!
What's it like living on the I o M all year ?
Most people only see the busy weeks of the TT or the Manx.

It certainly comes alive during TT or MGP, but the rest of the year its a lot different tbh. I love the place but sometimes wish there was a bridge to the UK as it can get a bit claustrophobic and i wish there were easier opportunities to just nip to race meetings, concerts etc. That said, it's a lovely place and it's home. It s great being able to blat over the Mountain though!

40 in one month, been riding since mid 20's. Brother and Dad were both bikers. Only owned naked's (although I was tempted by a VFR). Never heard of the T until December when I nosed around the bike shop while my Bandit was getting a WoF (MOT) and saw an 04 Gen1 with 20,000 km's (12 thou miles) on. took her out for a ride thinking that she's not the best looking thing around... and... holy sweet mother of god! 
pick her up on Friday :thumbup mwah ha ha hah

I've just bought a TV4 and I'm only 25, thinking maybe I should have stuck to sports bikes for another 15 years before buying a T!

45 and feeling every year…..just given up on sports bikes and finding i'm enjoying riding again
I'm 38 so kinda middle aged I guess. I got fed up of the lean forward position of my Fireblade so thought the Tuono would be a great mix of power, looks, performance with a nice riding position... so far I reckon Ive made the right choice.

I'll bring the average down a tad then, i'm 27 so we are not all grumpy old gits...well, maybe a grumpy ******* but not old haha :thumbup
Just turned 51 and had my T 10 yrs now. used to do track days on it but the wifey got humpy cause i might damage it and spoil her pillion rides out.
She made me by a Mille for the track so now have 2 stallions. Luv her hahaha. Hope she`s silly enough to ask if I want a v4 as well!!!
