Default How old is too old?

I know there are alot of factors but how old do you think you can ride to? What are some of the oldest guys you've ridden with?

I'm only 41 but was trying to get an idea of how many good years I still may have. I'm saving up for the 2038 Street Glide.

We got a guy in our HOG chapter was 84 and died in a bike wreck last year that was not his fault. Several guys in their early to mid 70s ride regularly and many in the 60s. I am 51 and God willling have many good years left in the saddle.

IM a month away from being 68,i rode to KEY WEST FLORIDA recently from Long Island NY< ive friends in their late 70's ( goldwing riders) that have no qualms of rideing to HONDA HOOT IN TENN each year,( so your question, depends on individuals and there importance of health and love of bikeing.
