I'm a 69yo Submarine Vet and ride whenever the mood strikes.I don't mean a daily rider ! I am a 81 year old disabled Vietnam Vet and I ride mt Scout whenever the weather is nice and I have somewhere interesting to go. So tell the truth, no BS.

I'm 74 and do a lot of "rides to nowhere in particular" within about 50 or so miles of home. My most enjoyable local rides are my after dinner rides in good weather when, in 15 minutes, I can be in one of the adjoining semi-rural counties. And as of now, I am scheduled for a regular meet up with a group in Eureka Springs, AR for the first weekend in June and I also have reservations to meet with a group in Canyon, TX in mid September. And sometime this summer I want to ride to NC, probably Maggie Valley and other places in that general area for a few days.

69yrs and Lord willing this will be my 15th consecutive coast to coast summer. I shoot for 15k miles per. Only 12k the last 2 seasons so have some making up to do. Wyoming only allows for 5-6 months. Heck it snowed 9 days ago lol.

Brother thank you for service. Welcome home. Salute!!!!I don't mean a daily rider ! I am a 81 year old disabled Vietnam Vet and I ride mt Scout whenever the weather is nice and I have somewhere interesting to go. So tell the truth, no BS.
I’ve always thought of age as just a number rather than psychological. IMO, constantly focusing on a chronological age and//or equating it to an emotional or mental state is a risk. Said another way, think you’re old and you will act and be old. Fortunately, being healthy and in good shape I am able to live up to this personal perspective. So, at 78, I do multi-day trips on my Scout and day rides on my Triumph. Living mostly overseas, my U.S. riding is restricted to the summer months, and unless I’m already out, I’m a fair weather rider (then again, maybe I’ve always been one 😂).

70 here and just started riding last year. I ride every chance I get because I'm hooked on it and I'm making up for lost time.

60 plus and still ridin on a regular basis, have a choice between a Honda CBR1000F, 1989 or a KAWASAKI GTR1000, 2000 and my ROADMASTER 2015. That's how I keep myself busy all up, summer months with xtended daylight hours make it so much easier to get out and about although the winters DownUnder aren't that bad anyway. Ride Safe.

I am 67 and up to go find the perfect Burger anytime.
67 until July, I ride every chance I get. What about that old boy from Australia was posted on here 80 plus getting ready to circumnavigate Oz. That would be equlivant to riding around the lower 48 US stats, he's my hero. I'm riding up to Newfoundland this summer as well as a North Carolina trip.

I am 66 have a 2017 indian roadmaster classic with 59,800 miles
66 (hit full retirement age in two months). Had a TRiO conversion done to my 2016 RoadMaster, doing fine by myself but was having trouble, ah, keeping it up, with my young bride onboard. We plan on doing Route 66 this Fall from Chicago to Santa Fe with EagleRiders.

Turning 71 this year. Since I retired in 2016, I no longer ride every day. I take my 2022 Chief Bobber DH for short, errand rides, and reserve my 2017 Chieftain Limited for those days like today…300 miles of smiles. Enjoying both Indians for different reasons. I have no hesitation in planning either a short ride or a lengthy road trip, like the one I’ve scheduled this Fall to the East coast and back.
