I'll be 63 in a couple of weeks, like others have posted I started riding a little after I got home from Nam. My first bike back then was a BSA then a long line of Harleys after that.I want to try to compete with the guy that said he wants to become the oldest Viet Nam vet still riding some day

Greetings from the east coast. Started riding when i was 33 years old. I am 70 and can ride pretty good. Now where did i leave my motorcycle keys.
My avatar shows a 2010 ultra limited. Traded for a 2011 road king classic. Do you think i need to see a doctor?

I'm 62, and got a late start riding, age 30. Less and less the last few years due to the usual circumstances. Weather, prior commitments, too hot, too cold etc., etc.

I'll be 69 in a couple of months.
Rode a rice burner for one summer about 30 years ago. Never rode since.
Bought my first Harley a Softail Deluxe this summer.
Hope I can ride for quite a few more years, maybe 10?

Started riding at 14 will be 75 in a few weeks hope to keep the wind in my face for a few more years. Riding just gets better with age, you know that every ride is a count down to the last one so I enjoy more than ever.
