I ask because I'm 45 been riding 40 years and hope to be able to ride into my 70's or even 80's.
I figure when I finally do bite the dust it will be with a bike under me.
So tell me some ripe old ages that still ride?

I'm 63 and bought my first scoot at 25. An acquaintence here in Wichita recently died as a result of injuries sustained in a fairly minor motorcycle accident-he was 92. Bought his first Harley at 65 when he retired and the bike he finally finished with was his seventh Milwaukee machine. Hope I can do as well...and yeah, my Patriot Guard vest has a patch that reads "Old Coots on Scoots"...K ;o)

Well, I'm 50. First threw a leg over a scooter many years ago and no way I'm gonna park it soon. I still ride hard and pump iron and among the greybeard patch holders I know I'm still considered a young'un. I still kick start my pan, drink good whiskey and love firm, willing chicks. and I ain't gonna stop anytime soon. Far as I'm concerned your just a young buck. Remember 20 grand and 20 miles does not make you a biker!!

Sure hope you don't think 45 is old and crusty, I aint far behind.
I plan on making it to 72, see what happens after that.
By then the Superglide will just be broken in at 30 years old.
