    Wow, what a great inspirational story! I've often wondered how long you could keep riding for, and now I know - at least 71

    Im not as old as they are but can already relate to a lot of that, speciality the bit about not having friends my age to ride with, im mid 50's most of the guys I ride with are in there late 20's to early 40's.
    They're always ringing me up, see if I want to go riding, don't know why by the time we get out of the carpark they are gone
    I know there is an old guy that rides with his son at Ardmore MX track, he 70 years old, just curses round enjoying him self.

    I know there are a few 50 to 60 year olds in here that still ride offroad.
    Funny how that's not considered old when riding a road bike, unless you are riding a sport bike
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    Like the quote in the first part of the video.

    Men do not quit playing because they get old.
