Welcome Beanz.
It's not the specific "age" that matters, but rather are you up to the harsh physical and mental demands of posting in the BF's premier forum?

I'm ahead of you by 24 years.
You are about the same age as my son. Sure you want to hang around? It's like talking with your dad.
We REALLY need a 65+ forum!

Not wishing to be the voice of discord here, but if we let any (not-so) old person post we will be missing the essence of what the 50+ forum is...then again, I cannot seem to recall what the essence is, so post away and welcome!

Wow Beanz,
I didn't expect to see you here quite yet! I enjoy your posts on the SoCal forum (SART, etc.), and it makes me hopeful to see you post on the Long Distance forum [wait, inside joke, I've been trying to talk the Beanzer into riding a double century for what (?), maybe six years now?].
I haven't ridden with you on GMR/GRR for awhile. What happened? We used to ride that together quite often! Maria still talks about how you saved her when she had her flat tire(s) on GRR!
Hope you and Gina are still doing well, and I know I'll see you on the road (or MUP) eventually.
Now, about allowing a young'un like you to post on the 50+ forum, I don't have a problem with it at all. But then, I know you, and most of these old folks (big john excepted) don't. As long as you behave yourself, you should be okay!

Yeah, old folks like me don't mind having you around, especially when it's windy. What kind of pie did you say you were bringing?

It was bad enough you let on that Gina is a grandmother. Now you're telling everyone her age?

Welcome! I enjoy your posts in the SoCal forum... perhaps I'll pass you some day on the SART.
We need an Almost-50 forum .... until then, dive in and let us usher you in to the brighter half of life.

Mr. Beanz, we'll mail you the official 50+ application and validation package, and if you qualify, you're fully authorized. If you don't, nobody will remember anyway, so just stay and have fun. Bring the missus, too!

Oh, she'll like that!...Yeah Rick, I'm trying to get back into some mtn riding while trying to get back into shape! We need more forum rides up there on GMR. Maybe a 50 and over GMR ride!
Thanks for the welcome and since they aren't checking ID at the door, OK, I'm 50
FWIW, I did feel 50 this morning on a MtBaldy Rd ride. Thanks to Ma and her dern Christmas tamales!
