Kay and I were riding our CBR's in Arkansas this spring and stopped at a local watering hole near the Mulberry River on Highway 23. There was a large group of young riders on sport bikes there who were milling around, talking, and just doing what motorcyclists do when they stop for a break. This 78 year old gentleman on his FZ1 rolled in and nobody seemed to notice. I made a note to talk to him and was just amazed. He started riding when he was 8 years old and has owned motorcycles ever since. His current mount is this 2006 FZ1 that has been lowered slightly to fit his stature. I just had to get picture with him. When he left he roared out of the parking lot pulling a wheelie! DAMN!!! I want to be THAT guy when I grow up!
