I just turned 30 but you all have the best shirts I have seen. Many times in my life I have been told I was born ten years too late. So I felt I needed to ask the question, as proper respect has always been the right thing to do..
In regards to your question concerning how old is an old guy, I refer you to the common and old quote, “You don’t have to be old to be a dirty old man. I’m not sure if that applys to this situation, but if you want to be old just to wear a t-shirt, you might want to consider all the crap us old guys have to put up with. Enjoy your life, find another T-shirt and you will be old before you know it.
To you other old guys, I would like to hear from you. I just retired at age 64 and I bought a jeep, bought a jet ski, am learning to play the guitar, and am learning spanish.
When he was 75 my uncle Jim told me when you stop doing something, pretty soon you can’t do it anymore. He made his last yearly trip to Mexico when he was 84. For the first time he felt to sick to drive his motor home from Mexico back to Iowa. His younger wife drove home. He died two weeks later.
Get off the couch and do the things you have been putting off all your life.
I’m 43,starting to feel all the things I thought I got away with when I was younger.
Started racing my bike at El Mirage this year. In hindsight,it was probably better to start now than when I was a pup!
I guess when you start seeing 20 somethings as kids,you’ve made it to OG status.
Good to see you racing your bike as an old guy. I think this is what the attitude of being an “old guy rules” is. Doing things that maybe people think you are too old for. By the way, Have you seen the new remake of the 60 vintage Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. It looks like the old one but has all the modern gear and 845cc.
If you think 20 year olds look like kids, wait till 43 year olds look like kids. My mother is 97 and she says I’m just a pup. That’s attitude.
I have found that when you are refered to as “sir” (and I ain’t talking about knighthood) a lot by twenty-something people waiting on you in resturants, retail establishments and so on then you tend to be old. My kids tell me I’m old all of the time. I took some night classes at a university not too long ago (we have to keep our minds sharp) and a twenty year old asked me who was president when I was born. I responded “Eisenhower”. She responded, “My God, how old ARE you?!!” This sounds trite, but you really are as old as you feel. Take care of yourself, keep moving, challange yourself. Rule number one to me though is :have fun!
When you become an “Old Guy” you will be smart enough to know the difference between doing what’s fun and doing something stupid. I’m thinking somewhere around 45 is when you have done some living and had life experiences that get your head screwed on pretty good.
at 50, with 10 years in recovery, 8 grandkids, 6 kids all grown and gone (2 are mine, 4 hers), 5 careers, 3 marriages (finally got that right and learned to say yes mam - hoho), 2 wars and a jail term...i am a friggin’ old guy. now if i can just remember where the car keys are, i’ll get in a night dive.
Being an ‘old guy’ is an attitude more than a number. It’s about life and how you live it. My kids are 25 & 30. Their friends are amazed that we still hang out together and regularly ride roller coasters at a number of central Florida theme parks. We’re also planning a ride around Daytona International Speedway soon. Hear tell those race cars zip you around there at 160 mph +. I’m sure we’ll think up more fun stuff to do.
Absolutely Doc Loop...at 53 I’m still racing my kart and teaching the younguns how to be faster around the track. If you get a chance to experience Daytona at speed...don’t pass up the chance...it is very cool.
well one thing is when you get your AARP app.Told my dad of 85 that we were the same. Next is you don’t care what people think of you. But still care for them. You will know with out asking
Hey does that bottle opener really work on that hat ?????
Why do us old guys care if a young buck wants to wear our stuff? I say thats better than them wearing the (new crap). My youngest son loves rat fink (ed big daddy roth). Hey its a badge we wear being OLD GUYS ! So like when a cop pulls us over we hope theres a very, very nice OLD GUY behind that badge.

Hey I’m 44 and I’m from Norway, I got a OGR shirt back in 2005.
I found it in a store in Downtown Disneyland, CA.
I just read Bigdogs question “How old do you have to be “? It’s all in the mind. You are as old as you want to feel. ???? The old body may be crumbling, but the mind is still years behind. I just reached 70, ride a Harley and am going to Sturgis again this year . Cant wait.. Roadhawg .
