Is being an 'oldie Newbie' a contradiction?

Hi all,

I've just joined your forum. I'm an oldie (53) from London/Herts as well being a newbie. Moved to a Triumph Exlporer 1200 from a Triumph Tiger 1050 in September (bought the first Triumph in 2013) Prior to that, always had jap stuff. Year round rider who commutes into the smoke on average 1,000 miles a month. Looking forward to using the forum! Cheers.

 

Hello Andy and welcome to the Triumph Playground - probably the friendliest bike forum on the net. ENJOY.

 

Hi welcome in, not that old and tomorrow you won't be a newbie.

 

You're never to old just get on and do it,I'm 62 and keep adding bikes to the stable !

 

53 !!!! Andy's just a lad !!!!!

 

Welcome in Andy not a newbie to the Triumph brand and I am surprised that you have not joined this forum sooner age is just a number remember that and you are only as old as you feel enjoy the ride of a life time

 

.... but you will be a day older!!

 

Bet your horse is a bit pissed off with you for that!!

 

Hello and welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum kid.

 

Ayup young un welcome to the forum

 

Hi and welcome Andy

 

Hi and welcome to the forum - you probably have just brought down the average age!

 

Andy are you blanking us or doing that 1000 miler a month you have not got time to spare on here

 

Hello Andy. I'm 67 and don't consider myself old. Riding about 5000 miles a year in all weathers and won't give up biking while I can still get on one!!

 

Hi Andy. 53, a mere youngster around here. Enjoy the banter and if you get stuck there's loads of folk who might be able to help out too.

 

Thanks for the welcome guys,

Ha, ha....no Peter, so busy at work just struggling to get on here much...amazing welcome from everyone!

 

Thanks for the amazing welcome guys, good to see there are a lot if 'mature' bikers on here!

 

To be honest Andy its more of a mobility scooter forum

 

Hi Andy - nobody ever claimed we were mature. More like grumpy ol' bastids !
