I'm glad this was a flako specific question.

As I mentioned recently, I forgot how old I was a long time ago, but do remember that I have been riding for 47 years!
Oh and I took my test at 16, (on a 500 Velocette Venom combo with a sidecar chassis and a box filled with bricks. Went straight home and converted to solo, sorry I'm going on again, it's an age thing!).

So that makes me about 43 I reckon.

Still do about 6k miles a year on the Falco and the 9R.

P.S. So yes I probably qualify as a slightly more mature gentleman.

I should have kept quiet, it looks like all the other more mature Falco owners are out a Bingo tonight.

Bet they've had their Horlicks and are all tucked up in bed catching their first hour's sleep before their many nocturnal "comfort breaks"

I still reckon Ken and Ian are out at "Bingo" with a pint of something cold with a frothy top.
Then again, come to think about it, not heard from them for a while.
Perhaps they had a big win and went to Skeggy.

The list started of young then went middle age pretty quick .........SO before all the young ones start laughing ( not you d-rider ) remember this WE ALL STILL THINK WE'RE YOUR AGE IT'S JUST THE BODY THAT STARTS LETTING YOU DOWN !!!

Hmmm ..... it's funny that Tweaker and HissNibbs have not yet declared .... and Methuselah (Howard) has been so coy about his age.
