For those of you that have attended the last two Inzanes, I'm sure you remember our oldest rider in attendance.  He actually rode his Honda Shadow to both of those events from Fulton, MO!  He will be turning 98 on November 21, 2022 and his daughter has suggested a card shower for him!!  I think it would be fabulous to shower him with a bunch of cards from his fellow riders!!  If you would like to participate, please send me a message and I will happily give you the address!  Let's show our support for David!!! By the way, he is also planning to attend Inzane XXIII in Roanoke in June!!!

The picture below is a picture of the youngest rider (Kali Ecton) and the oldest rider (David Carter) in Athens, OH...Inzane XXI

I had the Honor of meeting him in Athens, OH.

He's a very nice gentleman.

I was floored when I learned that he had ridden his Valk from MO.


You have to RESPECT that!

I remember Dave, quite the guy. He'll have 13 years on me at next IZ and I can only hope I'm still riding(or living) at his age. My granddaughter in Florida says I'll be doing 95, at age 95, on I-95. I hope she's right.  cooldude

Had the honor of meeting Dave in Athens as well.

Normally I would think this to be a stupid question but, is he still riding?

I consider it a normally stupid question but one would not think a 96 year old would be tearing it up on a bike (his age in Athens) so, what's a couple of years.

Got a photo of him and I at the Train ride at the Athens Inzane.

Yes, he is.  His daughter posted pics of him riding just a couple of days ago on FB.
