I thought it was a youth thing but I see more and more adult riders.

Judy, as long as there's the possibility you might come up and ask for a ride, I'll keep ridin'.

What's with all the different questions about older riders?
I'll be 51 on Saturday, and have ridden continuously for the last 32 years.
Sorry, I didn't get the inner-office memo, saying I had to quit by a certain age!

Age isn't the factor...consider this: a kid starts on a little dirt bike, graduates to a 110cc streetbike for high school, continues to a UJM for college, moves on to sportbike when they can afford it, ages into a cruiser, switches to a goldwing for comfort and dies with a goldwing trike in the garage. It isn't about the age...it is all about the love of the RIDE! As long as the love exists, the rider will find a way.

So the real question is why are you riding in the first place? To be a "poser"? To be seen on a cool bike, to be cool? Because it is "fun"? Because it is a way to seek solitude? or the opposite - Because it is socially enabling?
Or do you do it because you love it? If you love it, if it is a part of your soul, how long will that feeling, the pursuit of the feeling last? For me the feeling will last forever.
And the riding will also last forever, or until I become so elderly and infirm that I am unable to crawl onto the thing any more!

Who said that riding was for kids?
I have always seen, and known adult riders.

Youth don't have the time to ride or money for motorcycles that older folks have. There are more of us, too, and you are seeing us as you become more aware of your surroundings and less focused on your peer group. I know men and women in their 70s who are still in the saddle.
You don't quit riding because you get old.
You get old because you quit riding.

When they take my license away, no wait, when they have busted me for riding without a license, or when they lock me up for being too old and no longer have a license and continuing to ride even though I'm blind ,deaf and incontinent.
Or I die , which ever comes first.
