Old bikers.....................

[Fastas......]

My dad is 83 and still rides a sorted ZX10 and not too shabbily either!

I'm 58 and not been without a bike since I turned 16, which seems like yesterday.  I've been averaging 23,000 miles a year for the last ten or twelve years just commuting, and I don't see me giving up riding in the near future, every day is different.

Sorry I don't get the age/giving up bikes relationship...age is only a number and not a reason to give up anything.

[Carbon_ZX6R]

I'm young but with the bones of a much older man.......

I will always ride bikes through any aches and pains until I am not physically able

if I'm still riding at 80 ill be a happy man although by the time I get there bikes will probably hover be restricted to 30mph and run on unicorn tears

54 and ride a GSX650F every day to work, 70 miles a day
Was out for 10 hours on Sunday on the ZX10
3 of us decided to have lunch in Matlock, which as we like in Basildon is quite a trek 😀
Will only give up when my body cant take it any more. No signs yet thank God

I always thought that having kids and being past 40  would see an end to my biking days.. But here I am, over 40 (just) and with 2 children and I'm still biking.

I used to be a complete idiot on a bike and have had a few years racing which was great fun. But now I tend to enjoy the scenery on the road and have given up track riding (not got the competitive nature anymore, and I no longer bounce too well) and I love what the bike does for me socially. The vast majority of my friends I've met through bikes and even after i've given it up, i'd like to think i'll still be around them (bikes and friends) in some way.

But to answer your question, i thought in my early 20s i'd give up when i was in my 30s, in my 30s i thought id give up in my 40s, now i've hit my 40s i'm thinking maybe i'll give up in my 50s, but who knows  fastest Grandma in the West maybe?

62 yrs old on my second ZZR1400 - 32k on them since 2009. (Got Komp's old green seat cowl on the current one!!). Passed my test 46yrs ago in 1969 when I was sixteen. Went to school in the sixth form on a T120R Bonneville.

Ache a bit now and not capable of more than 300 odd miles in a day but still manage a couple of Euro trips a year.

Prum in the Eifel and couple of French awaydays.

Leading in Luxembourg - some damp patches - three valleys fun starts at 5:20

No more sensible now than I was then.
