Age is no problem when riding motorcycles .. Here's my 5 tips: 1. Got a hip joint replacement? Use the electric starter instead of the kick start. 2. On Warfarin? Wear full leathers and carry a few band aids & some zip ties. 3. Can't ride far without a toilet break? Get yourself fully patched. Oxybutynin patches! 4. Got dementia? Use a GPS & set your home address before leaving home. 5. There's something else, but I forgot what it was.

At 78 still riding my Guzzi V7. Two years ago in Europe did Nord Kapp and Stelvio etc on a rented Guzzi V7. 9000 km on that little jaunt. 25000 km clocked around Australia since owning current bike (3 years). For a bit of light stress I go onto gravel logging roads and to the high country in Tassie. Then to really amp up the stress, I chuck the bike on the ferry to the mainland and hit the freeway system around Melbourne at peak hour! Next January doing Rhajastan India on a Royal Enfield.

No, old age is not a barrier to riding. I'm 61, broken if several areas, but I still ride most days. I think it keeps you fit and active, and is great for your peace of mind. I will only stop riding when I physically and mentally can't ride or drive. I agree, as you get older and have been riding for a long time, you can predict what cars are going to do. I had several accidents on bike in my 20's and 30's, only one involved a car running a stop sign and hitting me. I haven't had a close call with a car for decades. I have avoided accidents with cars quite a few times, spotting what they are going to do, before they do it, and sitting in safe places when in traffic.

After 1300 miles..they could. Riding this bike forced me to increase my mobility and my son said " Dad, that KTM is making you YOUNGER!"

Love riding, had a break while raising a family. Got back in the saddle a couple of years ago on a 900 Vulcan. Just purchased my first Harley, a 2024 street glide (black on black) and I love it. Was looking at the road glide but decided to wait until I got a little older for that one as I'm only 60. I spend 3 days a week at the gym, health is everything. Without your health it doesn't matter what you ride it will all just sit in the garage. Love your videos, keep up the great work!

Spot on Aymen. I grew up on a farm, had a few offs but generally loved riding a dirt bike. Gave it away for about 20 years, reached 50 during the early days of Covid, had a midlife crisis, bought a new adventure bike during our second lockdown in Victoria, did a returning to riding course through Stay Upright and have loved life back on a bike ever since. I'm the same, I don't ride into Geelong on long weekends due the tourists who don't use their mirrors or are too busy looking at their phone and certainly not looking out for us riders. It's also made me a more aware driver of a ute/truck, in predicting & anticipating traffic and reading the other users of the road. It was handy during our numerous lockdowns as riders were still allowed out and about an even these days it's just great to get out, go for a run and flush out the bullshit of the past week at work. The Great Ocean Rd from Anglesea to Apollo Bay during lockdown was excellent. No tourists, no loose gravel, just hundreds of riders and divvy vans watching us go past at Lorne. And you are right - do stuff now instead of regretting it later on - excellent words!! Thanks Aymen - great video, as are all of your videos!!!

Great video, I’m 69, bought my first bike 54 years ago. 9 bikes later I switched from Road King to a softail just because it’s 300lbs lighter. If I do any mods to the engine it would be to put a cam that peaks torque around 3500 rpm, because these days that’s where I do most of my riding. I’m old, not dead, but I still do corners that will knock a little cholesterol loose.

I'm 72 and have been riding since I was 16. These days I slow to at least the speed limit. Since most of my riding is in the country side of South Carolina I encounter almost no traffic. I like to ride at about 45mph. It's easy riding and the wind doesn't beat me to death. I've had my current Harley since I bought it new in 2011. After about $10,000 in maintenance and repairs she still runs good. When the old girl breaks she makes sure the repairs are as expensive as possible. The last repair was the starter, compensator,, rear sprocket and drive belt. Before that it was the rear wheel bearing at about 10k miles. And the tires last long enough to take a few country rides. (A bit exaggerated but you get the idea). Harley Fat Boy Lo. Not a bike for the financially challenged. I wasn't when I got the bike, but am now. But I just can't part with it. Let's just hope people don't start associating the riders with the woke company. I no longer purchase anything from Harley. Let them sell their products to the liberal progressives and the sexually confused. Go woke, go broke.

I had an XT 500 & XT600 in the 89’s l had to get off bikes because I was going to kill my self. Fast forward to 54 l got back on a Honda 250 and loved it. Swapped up to a 500 a year later. Got a 790 a year on and then got a modern Honda 1100. Lastly I now have an R18 at 59 (now 60). It was get a full size bike now or die wondering what all the fuss is about with that style of bike. Had the R18 for a year and it is fantastic it has charisma and is planted. It also has reverse and that is a luxury- sorry necessity. As I get older I will put a side car on that Berlin beast and keep the machine gun out of sight (joke). Sunday Sage is in full swing again. Good job.

Original drum brakes, frame is raked, to fit the extended fork, it’s an old style Swedish Chopper, with open 3inch front belt, Linkert carb, I love the bike!!! The bike was originally built 1981, the Knuckle Head engine was purchased outside New Orleans 1977, so it took 4 years to have it ready for the road It’s also fitted with a Phase 3 clutch, and only a kick starter

THANK YOU!!! I'm 55 and want to get my first motorcycle. My brother has had his license for years and is about 8 years younger than I am and he's so excited that I want to give this a go. I had never ridden a motorcycle before until a few weeks ago on a friend's farm with my brother. I had a ball! I have an e-scooter and ride that on the road with all the motorcycle protective gear, and I'm very careful that. I've found the e-scooter to be a gateway drug to a motorbike!!! 🤣 I'm looking to buy my first bike and get my L's in a few months. Thanks for your advice - I really appreciate it! Craig - Geelong 😃

Am 61 and have just came back to riding after quite some time away. Just bought a Suzuki SV650 which has been a real confidence boost. At present I’m still getting the hang of things again especially with the difference between the bikes of 20 plus years ago and today. I’m working on setting the bike up for trips and stocking up on appropriate riding gear. Have watched quite a few videos like this which has been a great help. Great job thanks for sharing.

I bought my SV at 63 and rode it for 3 years, loved the feel of the bike, it's handling was improved by fitting a GSXR rear shock and lowering links, You Tubed how to do it and how to choose the right one, they don't all fit. Sold it because riding it made my bad back worse.

@@jonkwin9620 aside from add on accessories like a screen, top box, mirror extensions I’ve left the handling, performance and the like alone. Have been very happy with the bike and amazingly even with my degenerative osteoarthritis even after a full day’s riding I don’t have any pain anywhere. Anyway thanks for the comment and your thoughts. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I still love riding my motorcycle.95 percent of the time I like to be alone. Go where I want,stop when I want at my pace. Don't get me wrong I ride with other people when I invited, I'd like to paraphrase George Thorogood, I ride alone, yeah with nobody else. You know when I ride alone I prefer to be by myself.

I'm 73. Been a cyclist all my life and a motorcyclist since 1967. First bike was a Matchless 350. Still riding. I raced bicycles till I was 50 but I did retire from that.... motorcycles are easier (obviously) but require a different skill set. Still loving it and still cycle but mostly on an emtb. Great channel. Thanks.

Now 72, starting biking proper in Thailand aged 57. I ride at about 75-80% never more. We always travel 2 up and that means 2 pairs of eyes and brains.We live 4 months in Thailand and 8 months in Portugal, so a real mix of riding experience. I had arguments about safety, I think the more skills can mean more accidents.....Rossi many crashes, Market lady, zero accidents. Go for Royal Enfield are torquey bikes and therefor forgiving and easy. When you are old you don't want to crash, especially if you on blood thinners.

I started riding 9 months ago at age 61 and have done 6 track-days this riding season and have two more planned. I realize that I’m not particularly old but many of my track instructors have been approaching 70 and I have trouble keeping up with them while they’re keeping an eye on me, riding one-handed and giving me hand signals. I guess each person will run into limitations at some point but as long as your balance, vision and mental acuity are sufficient you can keep on keepin on!

I was riding from the age of 10 to 65 and survived , I’m not pushing my luck any more with the crazies on the road now , If I came off at speed now ,they would simply scrape me off the road with a shovel , Nah ,I’ve had my fun , I’m not tempting fate any longer , 4 wheels 4 me now ♥️

I think you buy a bike you can handle. Most riders spend maybe 90% if the time in urban areas. Agree about the smaller bikes and learning all the basics.
