Well now, I'll be 68 July 4th, and I've been riding since 59, and had a bike every year since I bought my first in 63.

RE: 60+ riders

Just turned 61. Got my first Cushman scooter in 1960. Lots of UJMs (Universal Japanese Motorcycles) in the 1970s-80s. Thought I was through with it about 15 years ago after a Suzuki 1100, then got the yearning again three years ago when a friend got a Harley. So I got a Sportster, and now a Superglide. Figure I'm good for another 15 years.

I will be 79 on April 4th. My first Harley was a 1948 Pan Head bought new in the fall of 1947. Now have a 2005 Heritage. My biggest problem is handling it at under 5 MPH.

RE: 60+ riders

I turn 57 this year and wife turns 59 - like others rode early in life - got my first HD (Fatboy) in 96 and have been enjoying it ever since - I will ride until the legs can't hold then I will move to a Trike.... Life is short

I have been a Firefighter since 73 - 8 months to retirement
