Guest Mackinawman Posted May 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Was just wondering how many senior riders (65 yrs. plus) are on the board? I will be 69 in Nov. and the lady will be 66 and we are still riding the RSV. Last year we logged over 8K miles. I told the wife the other day I think I will know when it is time to give it up. The moment I do not feel confident and in control that will be it. So far so good. Thanks! Edited May 23, 2008 by Mackinawman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everette Posted May 23, 2008 Share #9 Posted May 23, 2008 Turned 58 today and actually been thinking about this same subject. I was watching the news the other night and they had a older guy (66) stab another guy in a seniors home and I looked at my wife after watching all the interviews and said something bad is going to happen in the next 8 to 15 years. These people really looked old. Hope to be riding for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperboy Posted March 9, 2009 Share #20 Posted March 9, 2009 You guys are giving me hope for the next few years, I'm 62 and feeling as good as ever. I've often wondered how long I'll be able to ride this heavy bike. Planing on taking it west this summer, possibly taking the Lincoln Highway.
