I you need a hug man, all you have to do is say so.

At least you are going out on your own terms and not at the hands of a texter. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I am 65 and likely riding my last bike. There is much that goes into a decision not to ride anymore, usually not financial. The phrase "I ain't as good as I once was" comes to mind. At Fatboy's age and mine, eyesight, strength, coordination, hips, joints, back, hips etc decline. A wise man knows his limitations (Clint Eastwood) and no room for error on 2 wheels. I have not made my decision as of yet, but I am starting to think about owning my last bike, my last pair of good leather boots, my last tuner, my last set of new tires. I wish Fatboy good luck in the future

I am already there. Made the decision 2 weeks ago. What I have now will last me until I list my bike.

Man, I've been looking for a nice custom chopper to buy for my 64th birthday. I spent most of my adult life locked up in a freight truck, I feel like someone finally let me free. Had a Harley since the early 70''s and still have several. Sorry to see you go but it is your choice, Happy trails.

I'm 47. You are correct.

Depends how good your genes are and how much mileage you've put on your body. Most people it's 40. My family, it's more like 50.

The second you start needing any kind of supplement, get your *** to a gym because it's already started for you and you're behind already.
