46, first duck 13 yrs ago (916). However was a scooterboy for many many years on Lambrettas so I had ducati coils and regulators lol. Does that count?
51 and this will be my first Ducati, started at 16 with a Suzuki AP50 followed a year later with a Yamaha RD250 and kind of worked my way up the food chain mainly by way to the Honda Ladder, 400, 750, 900, then the kids came along, a few Fireblades including the 2011 ABS model which is getting traded in against the Panigale at the beginning of September.
I made my wife wear a Ducati T-Shirt before riding her, does that count as well then? If so, that gives me an extra year! For the record, it was a wet clutch!
41 and on my first Ducati that I have had for five years now. Facing a bit of a dilemma though. Not a fan of the air cooled engines, and can't afford the Mutley 1200s (lightly beaten with the ugly stick). I use my 4s every day so a sport bike is not very practical. Think I may have to go for a Monster S4Rs if I am to stay in the Ducati camp.
47 and got my first duke 6 yrs ago, still have it but have also added another to the garage. I am a big fan of the air cooled twins.
hahaha! I've enjoyed this thread! 39 when I got my first Ducati (916). 46 when I got my second (998). 50 (and still am) when I got my third (998s)

61. First Ducati ridden was a 250 Mach1 in 1968, second was a little 2stroke 50 on which I did a track session at Combe sometime around 1969 or 70. First ducati owned was an M600 in 2004 swopped for a 999 in 2006. I still have the 999. Also have a 1981 Moto Guzzi Le Mans III which I have owned from new and should be back on the road before too long
Harry reminded me to resurrect this one on the 5-way-merge "old" thread.. did you get a conclusion Andy? @Android853sp apologies to Rob as this hardly encourages "young blood" members! this started around 2013 so it's plus 7 for starters. In my mid-60 it would cheer me up to find there was an octogenarian on here - and still riding.
