My pop is 75. Was riding back in his teens. Retired LEO and did motor patrol for some years. Currently owns an '05 RK custom.
Hasn't riden since April due to health but was (and is still looking forward to) still riding.

Earlier this year he sold his springer to his 76 yr old brother.

Come back in 7 years.....

Thanks for your valuable input.

I'm 53, had a stroke 2 1/2 years ago, which effectively added 5- 10 years. Been riding since I was 14, no plans to stop anytime soon.

70 and doing several rallies and one adventure ride each year with my sons. That adds up to about 12K/yr. Started riding in 1956.

I use one of these bikes depending on the ride.

They should last until I'm gone.
