44 years young
Territory Manager for a Worldwide Chemical Company and Team BoXer's R&D test rider/racer.
I forgot to add:
One Motorized Bike: a GT LTS(soon to be replaced) with a 5.8 Morini motor and a 56 tooth Kings sprocket. It only hits 35mph but has enough kick to climb some very steep mountain bike trails. With the 47 tooth sprocket it hits mid fortys.

63 year old medically retired photographer... The number of bikes varies widely from day to day. At the moment I have one china bike, one 33cc chainsaw bike and will have two more bikes awaiting friction drive engines on the way now.

34, history of science professor and museum educator, male, three eclectic motorized bikes (at least one of them is always road worthy) and a few vintage non-motorized bikes.

Oh yea, I also have about three metric tons of spare and used parts (as my wife frequently points out).

I am an angry mid life crisis man of 42 years because I lost my job of 15 years so they can save money thank you Bush Go Obama you teh man.
But it's okay because while the rest works I get to play. I make ends meet because I'm also a host home provider taking care of a Developmentally Disabled man that has day program during the day so I can ride and I take him out with me on the weekends so my life is pretty much cake walk so why am I complaining I'll tell you why it's because I am broke but I am considering putting up an ad on Craigslist for local moving services because I own a full size truck that just sits there because my MB's rule every kind of rule I think that's it yes that's it.
(edit) No. That's not it. I've also been married 21 years to my soul mate two kids one is a tatoo artist and my girl is gonna join the Navy I dunno why cause she has great grades AP classes top 10 percentile she tells me she wants to pay for college on her own I'm so darn proud of her...my son too of course.

Me, 47 MWM. I am a Safety Manager for the Dept. of Justice at a Federal Prison. I have 4 bikes, 1Yamaha 1100 V-Star. I ride the bikes more than the v-star lately. I parked my latest bike next to a $46,000 Harley at Sturgis South motorcycle rally 3 weeks ago and people ganged up around the bicycle taking pic's of it instead of the Harley. I thought that was awesome!!!
