My dad is 70 and rides a night rod special like he stole the dam thing. He has some breathing issues and says riding is the only thing that makes him feel good. There is nothing he loves more than smoking me from light to light. And always loves to rub it in.

I'm a young wipper snapper at 41, but I hope to ride for many more years. Staying in shape helps me enjoy the rides more too. I have 2 uncles that are in their early 60's and they both keep saying, "I'll get a Harley one day." Neither one of them have an excuse not too, other than drinking too much. I keep trying to convince them that a Harley will take the years off, but they'd much rather sit around and make excuses not to get one.

They call each other "Side walk bikers" because they have all the gear and stuff with HD all over it and they both look like old school bikers....just missing the bikes...lol.

I'll be 68 in two weeks and have no plans on quitting any time soon. I'm fortunate to be in good health with no problems. I'm on my 7th bike. Just finished an 8 day trip through Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. I'm ready to go on another one.

71 yrs old. 55 yrs with a bike. For my 71st BD, traded my Fat Bob in on a new Road King, great bike but the GF and I both enjoyed the "sportiness", fit, and weight of the Bob so I will probably be trading soon.
