"get busy......"
Now at 63, the reality of my last decades of riding are becoming more, real. I hope at 73, perhaps 83, I'll be able enough to ride like a student I had in the Street Skills class I teach on the small track at Road America. He could still haul on his Ultra Classic.
Now, hear in your mind Morgan Freeman's voice, but the quote is for riding, "Get busy riding, or get ready dying" That my become my new mantra for riding.

Riding doesn't have to stop because you get older. I'm only in my early 50s but I've already "graduated" to a Can Am Spyder. I know. Three wheels isn't everyones cup of tea but anything that keeps your knees in the breeze is a good thing. Personally, I like the look of the Spyder (I have a 2021 RT) but even if I didn't, I'm still riding.

75 here and rode my Victory Kingpin from NY State to Nova Scotia a year ago.
Don't plan on quitting riding anytime soon.

Greetings @andyvh1959
No plans to slow down here either. Good Lord willing, another 20 years would be fine with me. A lot of roads out there... Ride safe, Smokier

Hmm, a good quote on a T-shirt maybe?
"Get busy riding, or get ready dying", with an appropriate view of a rider at the handlebar and the road showing ahead. Those that don't ride may misinterpret that. Those that do ride, no explanation needed.
