I just started riding big bikes at age 72. 73 now and looking forward to summer! Enjoying fixing up my recently purchased street glide.

 

Naysayers are meant to be ignored and mocked. Age affects us all differently. Some get **** on early, others do the shittin'.

Ride as long as you are physically able, as long as you can hear and see reasonably well, and have the mental acuity to stay focused (but not tunnel visioned)!

If you can check all those boxes, ride the damn thing like a scalded bitch!!

 

I have met harley riders in thier 80's, you'l know when it's time to quit.

 

I think when you start farting dust then your too old.

 

I'll be 66 in February. Planning on making my 3 rd trip to Sturgis this summer. Don't pay attention to other peoples opinions about riding your bike. If you know you can still handle the bike safely keep on riding. Some people think that when you hit your 60's you're supposed to sit around and do nothing. BS on that. Keep on keepin on!

 

Keep riding!!! I will be 70 come September. Been on bikes since I was 14. Have had and have a few health issues due to Nam, yet I am encouraged to ride by my VA doctor and my girl friend. I left bikes for just a few years when I wasn't doing well. Not riding did not help. My FXDF is the best pain reliever and best vitamin ever. God speed.

 

Dude, its not the years in your life, its the life in your years !!!
If Ya feel up to it, let the good times roll !
You only go thru life one time, so while Ya feel like it, get your roll on !!!
I'm only 61 and had a heart attack last April, blew a heart valve 4 days later, got a pacemaker and defibulator in September, and was in the middle of a cardiac ablasion last Thursday when there was a malfunction in the computer and they had to stop .
I have not been allowed to ride or drive since November ( although I do sneak out on accasion).
I'm wating for warm weather and I'm gona roll somewhere.
So like I said ,If Ya feel like it ---Do It !! You will know when its time to just say NO !!
Happy Trail's

 

I'm a teenager at 58 compared to some here and I plan to ride on 2 wheels till I can't hold it up straight any longer-- then I'll check out one of those newfangled 3 wheel HD trikes.....

 

They also used to advertise "Join the Navy and see the world". They forgot to tell me that the part of the world I'd get to see is the 2/3 that's covered with water.

As to what's to old, well I'll let you know when I get there. I'm only 62 and I think I still have enough gas in the tank to get me around the block a few more times. Now that I'm retired, I'm logging more miles than when I had to go to work every day and I'm enjoying it as much as I ever did.

 

My brothers riding buddy is 76 and has no problem riding his roadking.
