Only ten more years til I can match that , but, by then he'll be eighty-three, and i'll bet he's still at it.

My dad turned 79 this last weekend. He rides a 650 scooter that is automatic. He says he has had it over 100 mph. We rode 60 miles round trip for dinner.

I see so many retire and have nothing to do after that. Damm I want to go as long as I can. Then find me some trike wheel and go again.

I ride with a couple of guys in their 70's who ride both HD Road Glides and sport bikes. One has a BMW and the other a Buell 1125R, in addition to their Road Glides.......and they put a lot of miles on those bikes!
