It is an individual thing I know some people riding that are young and really shouldn't be as they have no skills and don't seem intrerested in developing any. I also know a few in their 70's still doing Iron Butt rides like the 100 CCC Insanity and will ride most guys in their 30's into the groundLouie Louie said:
When I grow up I want to be like Don. The man is my hero. He rides a BMW that has well over 250,000 miles and barely misses any of the HSTA rides. I have been going to the HSTA Ride The Rio in Big Bend since 1997 and Don has been there every year. He will start out the evening drinking Crown Royal, goes to bed long after everybody else has has called it a night and gets up before the roosters.:bow1: :bow1: :bow1:RideTN said:

The key, I'm told, is not making longevity disreputable by your untimely persistence in it.
YMMV, of course, on the exact sense of "untimely."

My Dad turns 76 this year. He rides about 3 times a week and has over 60k on his '01 VStar. (The Yamaha Venture was getting too heavy for him.) He rides with a buddy who is 83. His buddy has a 750 Honda cruiser and a Kawasaki 1500 cruiser. Both claim riding keeps them young. His buddy says you have to exercise your brain just like you do your body, and the best way is to ride a bike.

I think I will be getting to old when I throw my leg over my steed, and I don't get excited to be riding anymore.....................and you know its happened when you look over in the corner of the garage and see a dust covered lump that use to be your shiny pride and joy!!!!!!!!

Happy B-day! 60 is the new 40. I ride bicycles with a group of 25-30 riders. Several are 60+ and it's tough to hold their wheel on our Saturday morning 60 mile ride! We normally average 18-20 mph for the entire 60 miles.
