Over 10 years ago there was a old guy with a blue R1 with lots of km on it. 80K km, maybe over 100k km that he put on the bike. He looked to be in his seventies, but maybe I'm off on that too. Anybody remember that?
I thought it looked a little surprising as he appeared to be notably old (I know some people who have trouble walking in their seventies), but I also didn't care and give props to anyone who rides a SS as they get older. It will probably be me too. Life and liberty.

I remember an old guy on a blue R6 at a track day years ago. Admired that he was out. Hope to be like him when I'm that old.
Yeah thats probably him...he was fairly active in track days or just riding in general. He went through a few R1's, one just shy of 100000km that was supposed to be put on display at Yamaha HQ for show....unfortunately it got stolen just before. I always enjoyed talking to him as he was quite the chap with lots of interesting ideas. I recall meeting his son a few times too...Really nice people.
Should also mention Frank on a 2003 copper gixxer 1000. He was also up there in terms of age and thoroughly enjoyed his SS. Another fantastic person.
