Age of tri riders

[67wizard]

How many riders do we have that are seventy plus in age?

 

[Beauregard]

I have eight years to go to get into the 70+ category, but you guys riding into your '70s makes me feel real good.
I figure I have a good 10-15 years of riding left now that we discovered the wonder of the third wheel. I was basically done riding before the trike.

 

[PosseRider]

Been riding since I was 12. Got the Tri in July 8000 miles later I will be 72 in a couple weeks

70+ riders

How many riders do we have that are seventy plus in age?

Well, next Thursday I'll be 76. Had the Trike since Oct. 2015. Been riding on 2 wheels since I had my '74 back in 1960 but after dumping the '08 Ultra Glide a couple of times in parking lots we decided to go for the extra wheel for a little more stability. Put about 13K miles on it so far and enjoying it. Different but still in the wind.

 

[Trampas]

Not 70 yet, will be in another year and half



All for now Trampas

Good for you brother! I had a college buddy that did all of the above, too much, way too much, in the name of living and well traded off for an early demise; before he even reached 60.

 

[Mykneesbehurtin]

Will join the 70 plus club in 6 years God willing.Got a riding buddy who will be 75 next year and he rides a police model FLH with a tmann 124 motor hope to be as healthy as him at 75.

69 yrs old but age had nothing to do buying a trike. I'm in great health but I'm not getting any taller. gave up the Goldwings and my wife feels more secure at stops now! only time I laid a motorcycle down was at a stop sign on our 2nd GW. yes, she was on the bike. she didn't think it was funny and I was embarrassed. fellow riders didn't let me get off the hook lightly. :laugh:

Yep. when i got my first street trike [2008] my son and daughter in-law were flowing me home from the dealer 80 miles, And sure enough i put my foot down at the first light... And all i heard from behind me was.; Hey old man you don't have to put your foot down with that thing.:gah:..

That must be why all of the 30 year old's act like infants !epper:

I was told that I was too young to ride a trike. Then I told them I retired at 47.

 

[NHBAGGER]

Yup, turned 70 this year. Purchased the Trike a year ago, hoping to extend our riding years.

 

[mirider]

I am 76, on my second Harley trike. My first two wheeler was a 53 Cushman Pacemaker. I think I sold it for $75. Wish I still had it.

I wish i had a Dollar for every dollar i wished i had....:laugh:
And at 71 i did a lot of wishing over the years...

 

[67wizard]

Glad to see some of the older riders around. Makes me feel better and younger as some of you guys are a little older than me at just a young 74.
I plan to keep riding my tri and driving the younger guys nuts as I go past.:xszpv:
