As a result of our conversation, that was the first time I considered the notion that there could be a day when I’m too old to ride. At the age of 80 which I am now I bought a 2114 Harley street glide special and hope to ride for at least five more years.For your height? I sat on a HD Trike, it didn’t feel right. You’re 77 years old; do you think you can still ride? Really, how old is too old to ride a motorcycle, 60, 70, 80, or more?

Took a few for a ride; the one that that got me hooked was a 1981 Honda 500CX shaft drive, it was in excellent condition but it was heavy – as was the price.As my search continued I realized that I was setting my sights too high and the one thing that worried me was the mass of the bigger bikes; I doubted if I could lift a bike weighing +200 kilograms, also I needed a mechanically simpler machine that I could work on, this narrowed the field to a single cylinder; besides speed was no longer my ambition, I just wanted to ride a bike!I ended up buying a Yamaha YBR 250cc; it was in pristine condition, had done 9733km and the price was right.

Here’s a bunch of things to check:The wear on the tire. im looking for a new one! (For more info, see.Heck, for that matter, at what age does this concept of “old” begin?For me, I know I ride smarter (and slower) than when I was a kid.

No more fears. I tried the Spyder and really didn’t care for it. I don’t know how old is too old, but I’ll soon find out. You need to get this endorsement to ride legally.
