OLD Riders

Hey this is a shot in the dark, Just wondering how many folks on this Adv Rider deal are getting along in years and still getting a blast out of riding bikes. ?? Lets hear it !! .. if you can :0)

Sounds like an oxymoron to me. If you ride, you are not old!!!!!!!

Don

right on!!

I’m getting older; it’s really only a problem if you stop.

Well, I'm 56 now, have three motorcycles and am riding more than ever. Started riding at eight years old.

Sounds good . Maybe its time to slow down when you can't get your leg over the bike., but there is always a curb or stump around... :0) Man I must be getting screwed up coming up with this stuff. I think its the Alaska winter and the bike's in the garage. Not into Studs. Got a nice FM music station on 24 hours a day as the V Strom gets lonely..

What do you think is old? Warning** You may get some disagreement.

Did not stop yet and still riding
33 years old here, started with 16 on 50ccm's

Not that old, but every morning I feel like 80

61 here & age is not an issue....yet. I have several friends older than me who are still riding. One guy who is 83 and still riding his Electra Glide almost daily...he is an old racer/motorhead & he just flogs the shit out of that thing.

55 and started to rediscover riding again 3 years ago. Great way to blow off some tension. Almost Zen like!!!! Well maybe. lol!!

Sixty-two here- started riding in 1963 and except for part of a 4 yr stint as one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, including a trip to SE Asia, have ridden ever since. Made the TAT from OK to OR summer before last and plan to do the CDR this summer. Have dirt bikes, a sport touring bike, a couple of DS bikes, and a 2-up tourer(and a wife who will go about anywhere with me on it). Loving riding even more nowadays. If I live to be 78, I hope to be a 78 year old motorcyclist (including dirt bikes). Yeah!

62 here as well and still loving it. . But that isn't old either.

Early 60's here, rode for years, but stopped to raise two kids and career. got two new hips and got back on 4 years ago. Like it better now than then.

Define old.

I'm sixty.

Did this scoot in September: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=513116

A friend and I are Looking to join the 200 mph club @ Bonneville in '11
aboard a bmw 1000 RR ( should arrive in late January).

The biggest issue i suffer is the huge disconnect i experience
every morning when i look in the mirror and this guy 35 years
older than me stares on back. Old coot.

I'll be 63 in a few weeks and I can't imagine not riding anymore. The year I turned 60 I took solo rides to Cabo and Alaska. When I got home from a breakfast ride to an old mining town on Sunday morning I told my wife "I just love this shit."

I am 69 years old. Street skills seem to be holding up. Dirt skills definitely declining since leg/knee reconstruction from dirt bike wreck and other major surgeries. No plans to hang it up anytime soon.

Went from my GS to an RT last fall because I trashed my "good" knee.

63, ride every day. My cage hasn't moved in weeks. What exactly is "old"?
18!

as far as defineing old, yeah, don't worry you guys are old

Way funny!
