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.

Had a back operation 2 years ago and took me a while to get the confidence back. I’m 65 now but as you say you have to exercise caution when riding especially in heavy traffic. The world hasn’t changed much, there are still idiots on the road. Love your videos Aymen keep them coming!

[@hughmac7423]

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.

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.

[@Bob-rd9vd]

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.

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.

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 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.

69 years old and on my 8th Harley, 3 of them were kickers. Wish I still had them.
