I still use the flip side of that ^^ one - I'm 'old enough to know better... but young enough to do it again anyway!'

We Texans seem to be a bunch of senior seniors - 76 here and still riding both two and three wheels. Started riding in 1963 and I've been fortunate enough to have ridden throughout most of western Europe and a short time in Turkey, though I have to admit those days were a few decades ago. My favorite place is, and always will be, the Isle of Man. I've ancestors who hail from there and it's sort of like going home, not to mention it's a beautiful island. Another trip will be my 80th birthday present to myself, if I'm still around!

I'm trying to come to grips with my wife dying last month after 56 happy yrs together. I find it tends to take up all my time just surviving. I've had enough of doctors in the past 2 yrs to last a lifetime.
I will make every though to be more careful and see my physiotherapist. Thanks.

To wax philosophical .....
To the "youngsters" here; take advantage of your strength and endurance, you won't always have it. I felt I was in the peak of my riding skills in my 60s and even into the 70s. And then Father Time was there telling me you are slowing.
To the "oldster" here; Enjoy every day and especially those days you ride. We are an exclusive club, many stopped riding even in their 60s. Many did not make it to your age and mine. I guess that's one of the reasons I enjoy riding aggressively, showing the world "I've made it this far and I don't really want to slow it down." But there will be a time that I will have to slow it down and maybe some of you are experiencing that.
Cheers

As Harrison Ford said in Raiders of the Lost Ark, "It's not the age, it's the mileage." My odometer has spun over several times but still moving forward albeit a little slower at 72.

You older folks are an inspiration. I hope I make it to 85! But, I doubt it - - - -
69 and have been riding motorcycles since I was 10 or 11. My first was a Lambretta 125 motor scooter (yeah, not officially a 'motorcycle,' but close enough).
Keep riding and be SAFE OUT THERE!!!
