65 years young here - I don't buy green bananas, but will still gratefully attack an 800 mile day. One of my riding buds will be 80 years old Feb 14. He'll still ride you into the ground if necessary. When we hit the Tail of the Dragon, I just pull over and wave him through. Made a 8000 mile plus trip with him last year, plus a 5000 mile trip leaf-peeking in the fall. HE GIVES ME HOPE AND INSPIRATION!

Semper Fi, Master Gunny! Retired Capt here (Mustang). Surprised your letting anyone get under your skin about that. Even though I'm only 49, I use my mo****r (Olddudesrule), because we freakin do! Enjoy life and what it's given you, hardcharger!

Ok, so I'll be turning 67 in a couple of months, still doing really well, but been getting flack from some people about still riding (and enjoying myself).
I can still lift 80# sacks of cement and work all day, no balance problems. Ok, so I had a heart attack and quad bypass and some skin cancers, but I attribute those to my military service in some really great places.
They used to advertize, "Join the military, go to exotic places meet new people and KILL them".
Anyhoo, just wondering how old some of the other GEEZER operators are on the fourm.
When I'm on my Harley, going down some two lane road through the hills, man I am only about 35 at the most, doesn't get any better than that!
