let's hear it from 65+ bikers who still ride
 
I'm certain this has been discussed before but cannot find the thread.

Let's hear from some of the oldest bikers who still ride. I'm only 62 and don't see the end in sight anytime in the near future. Hope I can still go coast to coast for another 10 to 15 years.....Anyone still doing that in their 70's?

Turned 70 last June. Haven't found the need to stop riding yet, in fact, I just purchased a Suzuki DR650se Dual Sport bike to go along with my '04 Deuce. Fiqured the Zook would sharpen my riding skills. Big trips planned for 2012: New Mexico, Colorado, WY. UT and the Natchez Trace. Some will be on the Deuce and some on the dual sport.

This past May and June I did a nineteen day solo tour of Civil War battlefields from TN to VA to Gettysburg to DC for Memorial Day and back to Colorado. My last day of riding was my 65th B-Day .....did 800 miles from Topeka KS to western CO. Yep, I'm braggin' a bit. Gets better all the time.
