61 yo and I've been wrenching since I started working in my dad's motorcycle shop in the late 60s. The 550 Anniversary 986 I bought in February is the first car or motorcycle I've ever bought that I don't plan to modify because I want to keep it the way it came from the factory (except for unseen upgrades like the 987 front motor mount, brake vents, muffler, etc).
Regarding cars, I much prefer to work on the mid 60s - early 70s muscle cars. So much room and straightforward everything.
My current project (there's always a project) is a complete front to rear rebuild of a 2013 DR650 dual purpose motorcycle. It only has 513 miles on it, but I'm taking it down to the frame and rebuilding it as my vision of a (relatively) light weight adventure bike. The DR is as simple as a rock and it is a pleasure to work on. Many of today's bikes are as complex as today's cars. I could have bought a ready to go KTM off the showroom floor, but what fun would that have been?
