Interesting replies. I don't think a trike would be for me. I guess when I start falling over at the red lights or forget where I put the bike then it might, and I emphasize might, be time to quit.

Going to be 54 soon and don't see me not riding at all, it's my stress relief and my way of really enjoying life with my wife sitting behind me. With the grace of god and keeping me healthy I plan on riding until I am no longer safe to be able to.....

How long do I plan on breathing...?

If I go while riding, I cannot think of a better exit strategy...

I'll be 53 next week and plan to ride until I can't swing my leg over anymore.

Had sex with a 22-year old on my bike already.

Planning on riding until I get there.

I'm 62, just got back from a 6-day solo road trip. Several days ago I was sitting at a gas station in Cumberland, KY, finishing a cup of coffee before moving on. Another guy on a Honda Shadow (750?) pulled in to gas up and we started to talk. Turned out he was 73 years old, had rode Harleys for years but just couldn't comfortably handle that big a bike now so the Shadow was an alternative. And he was still working full-time and rode to work most days(!) Hope I last that long...
