Thanks for the add! turning 69 this year and have been riding since I was 16. Recently began downsizing the amount of bikes and the size of them. Currently still have 3 Moto Guzzis, one a that I bought new in '01, and a BMW R1150RT. I'm keeping one MG and selling the rest. I have spent countless YouTube hours researching the next bike to meet what I was looking for. The next bike had to be fun, light, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. So, that's how I ended up here! Still in the throes of winter here, so will be purchasing in the next few weeks. thanks again for the add and I look forward to this next riding chapter!

Welcome to the collective. Lower your shields and prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

yeah im a nerd. The 400 is a great bike. Its comfy for hours and its plenty fast. There are simple mods but the best thing is they arent needed. If you leave it stock you will learn to ride to its short comings. I love my lil 400 monster and will probably keep it in the stable until I can no longer ride.

Welcome and enjoy

For quite some time I felt like i was one of the elders, I'll be 66. Recently I feel my status is changing to JUNIOR old guy.



Welcome to the jungle.

 

[Gandalf]

...or old guy in training... Seems a few of us are in that boat.

 

[Joe A.]

Ya know, my brain has absolutely no idea how old my body is, so I guess I'm still an old guy in training!

 

[Bikenut]

Welcome Joe! Remember growing old is inevitable but growing up is optional.

Hi

Welcome. I may be "seniorider" but I'm also only 69. My plan was to reserve my Z400 today, but the dealer is closed.

These machines seem to check all the boxes for both new and old riders. Kawasaki definitely got it right with their 400s.

Welcome to the forum, and as Tracy has already said thanks for making me feel a bit younger.

 

[Bikenut]

Two things I have learned as time has gone by. Never pass a bathroom and never trust a fart. I think that is what makes old age the "wisdom" years.

 

[pwalo]

I think still being able to ride after fifty plus years on two wheels is a real bonus, although going before you go is a very good idea.

72 here. Going before you go, stopping to go every hour or so, walking like a duck for the first 10 steps or so after you get off the bike...it's all part of the mystique...

Hiya Joe !
Have owned several Guzzi's myself, as well as other brands.
Still a member at wildguzzi board.
I'm really enjoying my Z400,
Might be interested in the MGs you want to sell.
😄

OKJohn- the Quota and EV have been gone a while now. Keeping my '01 Jackal and holding steady on the V7III. That was a typo, should have read 2, not 3 Moto Guzzis. I will ALWAYS have at least one Guzzi!

I REALLY was looking at the V7 III 850 last year but they were out of reach $$$.
Had a V7II for a time. Nice bike.
I guess I'm sort of a bike-****.

 

[pwalo]

Haha one of Mrs Pwalos conditions is that I only have one bike at a time.

I'll turn 73 in May, been riding for many years. I recently sold my BMW R Nine T and Triumph Speedmaster so I'd have more time to ride my 2018 Ninja 400 -- awesome bike, lotsa fun!
I do still have a 1968 Moto Guzzi and a 1968 Honda CB350 -- my project bikes to keep me occupied during retirement. Life is good
