    As long as the body lets me

    I hope to be riding a similar style bike to my current one. If the knees & wrists let me.
    No matter what i know I will still be on 2 wheels and enjoying it, no matter what I am riding
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Cheery bastard.

    In that case, probably something like this, then. Hopefully things won't be so bad that the pillion seems like a good idea, though.

    I reckon hovering things would be fun. Wiz wrong wiv hovering? I'd be a starter if they were available. AND they can go over water. Whole new dimension I reckon.

    Y'gotta move with the times.

    Shhhh! Today I'm 21! I thought the new Honda CBF Thou looked really nice for my physical condition. I believe, though, that the wide variety of types of bike around, demonstrates that everyone has their individual preferences and there'll be just as wide a variety of bikes ridden by over 60's as there are for the younger ones. I like the W650 and the Royal Enfield as much as the new 675 for different reasons. I'd love a 'Busa, too, but I'd be real nervous on one for a while.

    I am 73 years young.

    I am 73 and still riding. A 60 year old seems a young guy or gal to me and a 30 year old has barely reached maturity.

    Thirteen years ago when I was 60 I rode a police special Moto Guzzi T5 which is for sale again on trade me right now.

    I bought my eleventh bike last year and now have two, a 1974 Aermacchi 350 for the open road and a 2005 Suzuki 125 scooter for around town.

    I ride nearly every day, but not in the rain now (my only concession to age). I dont think I would go far in the cold but ride short distances, up to 10k, on frosty mornings to events.

    If you are healthy age is irrelevant.

    An old person is 15 years older than you are, for me that is about 90. I expect (hope) to be still riding at that age.
