Gee, I've only been riding 38 years. It's good to know you can still have "Thump" in the golden years, too. You are an inspiration to all of us junior riders. Thump On!

welcom papa thump: I've been ridden since '47, that makes 'bout 57 years in the saddle. it all started with a Whizzer.(a real early thumper) still ridden a thumper, an '03 Savage,but 'bout 20 or so bikes over the years. of all the bikes,the absolute worst was a '49 Indian Scout.Edison electrics,Linkert carb and a miserable copy of a Burman trans.my ridden buddy rode an AJS 500 thumper, he said I should call the Scout EMF," every morning fix" befor a ride. 73 now and looking forward to at least another 20 in the saddle,(probably just wishful thinking) keep 'em up. diesel

My first bike was a Honda trail 50 (not sure of the year and wish my old man kept it) then I rode a Honda express moped out at my grandfathers neck of the woods on the gravel backroads. (western illinois between savannah/hanover) for many summers thereafter. I think the bikes we all first rode are and will always be the best ones no matter what they were or how old (young) we are!!!

Hey Papa Thump, [glow=red,2,300]Welcome [/glow] and give us all a good old story to learn from or some advice now and then!!! Grin

" I have had a lot of rides also-- the best were all thumpers... my favorite was a BSA GOLD STAR- 500 cc"

Now you are talking REAL MOTORCYLES...my all time favorite was a '56 BSA Goldstar, set up for the 1/2 & 1' mile oval...RADICAL CAM & 1 1/2 Amal GP, not a single light on the thing, just a magneto, wire and plug.

THAT BIKE WAS AN ANIMAL...had to have at least 45-50 hp and weighed in at 300 lbs. I N E V E R had any bike on the road that could stay with it up to about 90-100. It would top out at about 110 because of the gearing for the dirt. The biggest regret I have is that I sold it back in the early 90's...what a mistake that was.

Did you say Whizzer? I had fantasies about them as a kid, but never got to ride one. Here's a photo for all the old folks here

HI GREG 650 MY SON !!!!!!

just to let you know... I may be pushing 70....

but I still out ride you !!!!!!

want to race for pink slips !!!!!!! ha , ha, Shocked

Hi Dad. You may be pushing 70, but you ain't pushing daisies. So that's enough reason to ride.

Pink slips? Aw man. I suppose that I could use your bike for spare parts, so that's really inviting, but I'm much more kind hearted than that. How about we just settle for a beer instead?

Gary, you're a month older than I and it looks like we started riding at around the same time too.
