How old is to old
How old is to old
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!

Ride as long as you feel strong enough to handle the bike. I will be 63 years young this year and am planning for at least 15K in trips this year. Been riding for 47 years and it's what keeps me young.

Compared to you I am a kid at 62 but I feel the same way you do.
My saying about how people look at you is if they don't like what they see there are three other directions to look in, and besides if it feels good do it.
