The guy I ride with rides a 76 shovel with over 300+ miles that he put on when he use to ride heavy and ride to Sturgis from Brooklyn NY. He has no plans of putting his wheels up, Hell he wants to go down the race track at least one more time before he hangs that up (he is still building a race bike now) So for all of those who say you are too old tell them to shut the Hell up sit down and have a coke and a smile. OH and he is 67 years old and still works on the Railroad laying tracks!!!

A young 63, on my second Harley, a 2010 RK. There is no expiration date on my soul. When I die, fill my boots with sand and set me on my bike. Keep th erubber down and ride safe.

One of the buddies that rides with me is 74 years young and he just bought a new bike. He is my hero.

I know guys that are 45 and too old to ride and others that are 65 and still have plenty of years left.
Point is age is just a number. How you feel and get around is what counts.

I don't think any truer words were ever spoken. That's exactly how I feel ! The first time my bike falls over and I can't get it up (the bike) then I'll think about getting out the rocking chair and use my Harley as a lawn ornament. I expect it will be in the barn when I kick. I'm 64 going on 44

Until you you can't see, can't balance, or can't react safely. Until then smile and ride!
