Re: Age is a number
64 now. At 17 they gave me six months to live. Positive attitude is 'everything'.
Been riding bikes since the early seventies. Spent my entire life walking hills, caving, diving - anything that tested my body really. I agree I don't bounce so well these days as a major biking incident back in 2009 confirmed with multiple fractures of scapula, shoulder and ribs, but within
weeks of getting movement back in my right arm, I was on two wheels again. I think the moment you decide its getting too much, is when it starts to go downhill. Just keep plodding as best you can for as long as you can.

Growing old is inevitable - Growing up is optional
Re: Age is a number
I didn't start riding until age 55 when I retired. I just got back from a week of riding in Nevada with my son who is serving in the USA with the RAF.
We were out riding KTM 300EXCs in a mountainous off-road area he didn't know well, when we met a couple of riders on 450 KaTooMs riding a stretch of fast 'whoops'. We had a quick chat, helmets still on, and they agreed to guide us around the area which they knew well.
A really quick 40 mile ride ensued with some quite technical sections and lots of gnarly climbs.
When we stopped for a break and the helmets came off it became evident that 3 of the 4 young hooligans who had just been (legally) tear-arsing around the countryside were actually quite senior. The combined age of the 3 of us was 199 years!
I don't intend to give up (or grow up) anytime soon - I just wish I had started riding earlier

Re: Age is a number
I may be mid 40's but the bits that make me are circa 13.8 billion years old since I'm a "Big Bang" man. At that age is it any wonder bits of me keep failing !!!
I know folks have genuine problems irrespective of "age", and I don't intend to be insensitive, but One things for sure I'm gonna be a long time dead, but the bits that make will keep going, kind of like re-incarnation in the mass/ energy sense at any rate. Erm, hope that helps ... probably not :-/
