Nah never too old, i'm almost 62 and still ride, yeah i cant go as far as i used to but a short ride is better than none IMO, i suffer from rheumatoid arthritis so it can be painful some times, but i can't be without a bike or 2.

There's something very fishy about that quote......yep.
if I wasn't into my bikes then i would have a big car, but my bikes come first. as the saying goes,
"cars move the body, bikes move the sole"

This! My dad still rides and has been since the 1950's, he has three Hondas ( 2 x Fireblades and 1 x Phil Read replica that he has owned since 1980 ). I am a similar age to you Tony ( Oddly enough that is my dad's name!) and love to just go out , even if it just an hour - looking forward to the nicer weather when we have a bike meet and ride out in an evening after work.Nah never too old, i'm almost 62 and still ride, yeah i cant go as far as i used to but a short ride is better than none IMO, i suffer from rheumatoid arthritis so it can be painful some times, but i can't be without a bike or 2.

Fwiw I commuted on mine yesterday, too sunny & warm not to imho.its just the best feeling when its warm and sunny and no one wants to knock you off
It's the first time she's been on the road for a few years now, & when I looked at the new MOT vs the previous I realised she's done nearly 6k miles on track since then. That's 6k bouncing off the rev limiter and with a few too many instances of running whilst prone.
Still think she's striking, even compared to the latest offerings.

never been a sports bike fan, but working in bike shops ive ridded 100's. I always find it hard to ride one slow
but it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing always wanted to do a track day though.

I get that buddy , it’s a great feeling on a bike . I rode for 20 years , mainly commuting into London , in the end I was on a Fire Brigade course and we had an outside instructor from the ambulance service talking to us about medical intervention at motorcycle accidents when the brigade were first on the scene .Nah never too old, i'm almost 62 and still ride, yeah i cant go as far as i used to but a short ride is better than none IMO, i suffer from rheumatoid arthritis so it can be painful some times, but i can't be without a bike or 2.
By the Friday I had sold the bike and never rode one again
