  • At age 71 some have told drag bike racing veteran Ron Meyer that he is too old to be on a Top Fuel Motorcycle. Well at the James Surber Big Money drag race at Somoa Drag Strip, Meyer, along with fellow 70-year-old Nigel Patrick silenced the critics who say they are too old when Meyer's Nitro Motorcycle met up with Patrick's turbo Hayabusa drag bike in the Western Pro Extreme Final round. Enjoy this motorcycle drag racing action and share with a friend who thinks they are too old to race a motorcycle.

    I’m 51, just had a bad accident on the highway. Front fender dropped into the front wheel at 50mph. I had just bought it last winter. 59 Panhead. Lesson is check your Eqipment! I own more than 10 bikes. 2 rd350, 1 RZ 350, 72 triumph, 72 shovel, 76 shovel, 59 Panhead i crashed. 3 ct 90’s. 1 ct70. And a couple more. Its hard to keep track of everything, but necessary. Road rash is healed now i have 2 weeks left with my broken foot. Check your Eqipment or pay someone you trust.

    Old age and treachery will beat out youth and exuberance every time, from this 65 year old dragbike fan and former racer here!
    Still riding my turbocharged 1979 Honda CBX, bought it new way back when, still hauls the bacon even being a 44 year old bike!

    I'll be 57 tomorrow (7/21), love to turn my 79' KZ1000 ST into a drag bike. Put a WISECO 1200cc Drag Bike kit on it w/a blower.🙃

    Amazing ! When these guys can't saddle up anymore they will probably have 1000+hp nitro powered walkers....😉

    I think top fuel bike is the oldest field in all of motorsports. It doesn't compute because it's also the most insane. ALL THEM dudes are absolute badass oldtimers.
