64 1/2. Started riding Cushmans when I was 14, had 4 different Hondas off and on in my 20's and early 30's then didn't ride again until I was 59.
Went to a Harley dealer's grand opening in Atlanta while visiting my Son, told the wife I sure would like to try motorcycles again, she didn't say "no", so here I am today with 3 of them.

I will be 61 this year my first ride was a Harley "Hummer" some called it a "Super ten" I think it was a 125. I called it fun. Me and 3 friends went together $25.00 each and bought it. We each had it at our house for one week a month. We would tell our parents that "it was the other persons and we were just storing it for him...."

I was 13 at the time, and have been riding ever since so that makes 47 years and I have have not stopped smiling.
