My modern bikes are the long distance runners and seem like they will run forever. My vintage bikes are well maintained and (before the virus) I often go for a 100+ mile ride and have never had an issue in 20+ years.
One of our club Sunday rides is about 175 miles return, and either the Triumph or the BSA handle that with ease. But there was none of that last summer and we're looking forward to a much better 2021 season.
It is not boasting when you do that kind of riding!You give me inspiration to keep riding and don’t dwell on the possibilities that my riding days maybe limited because of my age! Thank you that! ...and 175 miles on vintage motorcycles! I’m impressed!

If your health and strength is good, don't let age slow you down or quit riding - and don't talk yourself into thinking you're too old.
That said, it all comes down to health, strength and stamina so use common sense and I'm sure you will know when time is up.
