62 and have been doing just under 20,000 miles per year on my Ultra. Would be more but we only have a 5 month riding season and I still have to squeeze work in there somewhere.

Have some more cross country trips planned for the next few years along with a bunch of week/10 day trips in the western states. Would love to do a trip down to the tip of South America but probably need a different bike for that trip.

 

Fair enough - of course at 56 you're young compared to some responses!

What I'm going for here is at what age are riders still thinking to themselves - sure damn it - I'm good for another (new) bike. Used works too. Still riding something they've owend for 10 years doesn't quite get to the attitude aspect.

 

I'm only 53,but my bro-inlaw traded his 02 EGC on a 09 EGC back in june,we live on the east coast of Canada and we are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon in May of 2010.He'll be 70 in july of 2010.

 

Thanks for the kind words.. He's 82 now and I did have on the back of mine twice this year. My mom also got a ride this year and she's 83. I hope to do it again next year a bit more often

 

I just turned 67 in November and my 09 Ultra I bought in Oct 08 just turned over 18000.....Probably would have gone more but my Cardiac surgeon put me down for a couple months......fine now though and enjoying the fine Florida winter.....on my Harley...!

 

I'm 69 and put 12K on the bikes this year. 08 Buell Uly, 09 XR1200 and 010 Ultra Classic.

Have a big adventure ride planned for the next two years.

 

This is my pops and he'll be 72 soon and we have ridden together since I was 8 either dirt or street. And he still rides a XR650 Baja bike when we ride Enduro. These are some pics from our trip from home in the N.O. La. area to Sedona,Grand Canyon,Hover Dam,Vegas,Morrow Bay up Hwy 1 to Monterey and back to L.A. ,Palm Springs,San Antonio to back home. Were both retired so riding Harley's and touring is about all we do. So 15k a year comes easy + all the dirt miles-man can my Dad ride. Age is only a number,and no one ever ages or gets old on the inside,so ride on!

 

I am 60 bought an 2009 Ultra in Feb. 2009 got 9,000 on it so far and rode yesterday, i live on the east coast so not really a bad fall yet except for all this rain. If the sun is out I am too riding all i can ride.

 

Well, I'm only 35 but my dad is 71. He bought an '08 Electra Glide Standard in June of 2008. He put 14,000 miles on it and then in June of 2009, he totaled it. A mini van tried to do an illegal U-Turn across a four lane divided highway. He t-boned the van at 55 mph. The FLHT was totaled and he broke his left wrist, right ankle, three knuckles on his left hand, three ribs, and had road rash on several places on his body.

Good news is, he just purchased a 2010 Ultra Classic to replace the FLHT. He's still not up to riding it yet but he's doing good. I rode it home for him the Saturday after Thanksgiving. He did ride it around the block long enough to pose for some pictures.

I've attached a picture of one tough old man.

 

I am 61...Feel like I am 29, like Jack benny used to say, till I try to get up from checking the air in the tires or something like that.LOL My 08 EGC is 2 years old this week and I got 25,500+/- on her. You guys are right working does get in the way!!!
