I'll be 60 in a few months. I've been riding since mid 70's, although I did ride a belt driven "Simplex" (made in New Orleans) in mid 60's.
I've ridden just about all the Japanese imports, starting with a Honda 450 in '74. I got out of riding for a number of yr's, then my son went and bought an anniversity edition Heritage Softail in '03, and I was hooked again. I now ride an '87 FLHTC, and love it. My kid says I need to upgrade to a newer model, but I kinda like the old bike......we'll see.....I plan on riding several more yrs.

Turning 60 in April. I started riding at 14 on a (you guessed it!) 1947 Norton. I don't think a Sears moped counts as a motorcycle or I would have to back that up a little. Congrats on living this long, gentlemen.

61 years young here and have had bikes on and off since I was 18 - commuted to college on a Honda 55 trail bike - LOL - I try to ride at least 10K per year and have logged almost every state in the lower 48 - plus Canada and Nova Scotia - most long rides were on a previously owned BMW R1100RT. RK is the most comfortable bike I have ever owned - a real keeper.

I'm 62 and have been riding since I was 16. Istarted out on a moped and then a motor scooter when I was younger, and then did mostly off road riding on a Suzuki while I lived in Montana. I had a 93' Honda Shadow VT1100 C as my first cruiser and my 06' FLHRI is my first Harley. I plan to ride until I can't physically ride anymore and still be safe.

Great response.Glad to see riders 70 up and some pushing 80 still enjoying our passion and hobby.When I bought this 05 RK acouple of years ago at 60,I told myself this probably would me my last bike.Now after reading these responses,I might have to rethink that.
