I just received the August 2016 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News (digitally) today. It has a two-page article "The Rest of the Ride: Growing Older" by David Hough. It's a great read and presents exactly what we're discussing in this thread. How timely!
"At age 50 you might swear you'll never stop riding, but at age 60 or 70 you might find your priorities changing."
The article states the mean (average) age of motorcyclists in 2016 is 58 years old, up from 49 years old in 2010 and 38 years old in 2000. That's many of us, give or take.
Edit: I just flipped to the inside back cover, and there's Fred Rau, talking about physical fitness and the changes he and his wife have made to improve their health and extend their ability to continue riding. Huh.
