Till What Age Do We Ride ?

[rboe]

66, went dirt (mostly dual sport, but we hit some knarly back "roads" in the desert east of San Carlos on the way to 191) riding with two buddies. 83 & 81 respectively. Age really is just a number, it's the mileage that can kill you. And bad genes. A lot of the Guzzi riders I know are "old" and still riding like they were in their 30's or 40's. Last weekend I joined a younger buddy to take the 650L (he was on his DR350) up to Mnt Humbolt - age is just not a factor. Your health is. I find that too many folks simply don't take care of themselves, and when they were younger their bodies could handle the abuse. But it adds up.

Remember the old saying, "If I knew I'd live this long I woulda taken better care of myself!" - really starts to ring true now.
