Oldest Panigale Riders

59 and loving it more than ever not a lot of road riding now only the occasional meet up with friends for lunch but plenty of track and dirt riding.

A couple of baby Pani's, KTM 1190R and a Sherco 300 Factory do the trick to keep the old age at bay.
 
59 years young.

Been riding since about 6, lots of off road, mx and road racing. Still do the odd race day, but actively in ride days, touring and off road adventure rides.

Had just about every Ducati imaginable, been a tragic for decades, I call it a sickness.

Still riding the Panigale 1199S since the first shipment to Oz, and have a Speciale V4 on order. Not slowing down yet.

Have a few nice belt drives, a ridiculously powerful 1200 Enduro Multistrada, to give the BMW and KTM guys the ....., and nice Scrambler for running around my town, great fun.

I just haven’t grown up.

Holy ...., I thought this was a really young board. Super awesome so many guys still riding in older ages. I hope I get there some day.
 
I really love seeing this! Great inspiration! I am approaching 40 and I hope to be posting pics of me riding in 20 year
 
59 will turn 60 this year.
Just bought my dream bike a 2014 white 899 Panagale.
First time Ducati owner, the bucket list thing!
Hoping to do some Track days at Phillip Island.

Have to agree this is a very interesting and inspiring Thread hope to read more cheers

Me, only 53 last Dec and still tracking and going twisties with my 1299S and doing track days with 05 ZX6. Hopefully i'll be riding til i'm 80ish
 
anybody at 69 with a tight ....... is full of it PA .Then again anybody reading your posts and seeing your avatar knows yer a Juvenile ! ha , ha , lol !!!
A few have expressed a little skeptism at the ages posted . Just finished perusing some statistical sites ,Canadian/American , don't differ but for a few points.
Median age 2017 for purchasing a new motorcycle was 49 years to 52 years old . Luxury motorcycles 64 to 66 years of age .Geeze , just when a lot of us get that gold watch and time to do whatever we want . So no surprise Ducati sold to a lot of us Old Farts that have been lusting after them since God was an Altar Boy .
We are also in the least Deaths Statistics when it comes to SuperBikes/motorcycles in general .
Then again iffin we don't ride enough ,death by Boredoom is soon to come .
Is there a Ducati Oldtimers Club ???

Rossi is 39 this year and just signed on to ride 2 more yrs in MotoGP! If he can ride at that level at that age, surely the rest of us can putz around on into our 70s?

:p

57 here. Been riding for 40 years - started on KAWs, slid into Yams and Gixxers. Was in the Ducati dealership today ordering either 959 or V4 ( can’t decide ) and just joined the Forum today. It only took me 40 years to get it right.
 
Only 60 here, had a 1098 now an 1199. Everyone tells me I should get a Harley. I say that they are not as safe as a sport bike, since the only thing they do well is cruise, forget about turning or stopping.
