At the age of 53, I started my motorcycle journey late October 2018 on a Hereld cafe racer 125. I passed my test in September 2020 and I know this is only the beginning. I wish to continue to grow, so I am looking at doing advanced training.
Startet riding at about 40. Rode until 55 and made a big break until 3 years ago. At 65 I looked at the actual bikes on the market out of curiosity, but had not intended to buy one. Then I saw one and took it! It´s a not too heavy Honda Rebel cmx 500. This bike comapares great with my style of riding: smooth cruising. So I´m on the road again and will never miss it!
My 49th birthday is in July, and I challenged myself to get class6 motorcycle endorsement on my licence by then. Learning more every time I ride, and having a blast with my little 250cc cruiser 8). About 6 hrs on road experience on the bike so far.
" Too old" is an Individual decision.
Nicely said.
Like The Great Bruce Lee said"you mever stop learning til thay close the casket "never too old to learn to ride,if its what you want.never to old to ride,if you can. God bless!
Real skills to ride motorcycle is in muscle memory. What age affect it, is good question? When something happen, time limit not allow figure out it first.
My, very long time rider neighbor rode a moped scooter until his death. Even walking was difficult as he drove to his affairs every day.
Great advice!! I started riding in 2012 at 53 y/o. I stopped for several years and now I'm 62. I want to start riding again but wasn't sure if I should pick up where I left off or find an MC school to start over. Well, your video just convinced me to start looking for a beginners course in my area. Thank you!!
I'm 75 and still riding, but although there have been long hiatus', I've never completely stopped riding, so I have an advantage there. I have to admit that I have learned more about how to ride well and safely in the last 4 years than I had learned in the previous 40 ++. I am now old enough to have stopped getting a thrill out of nearly being killed on too hot a bike going way too fast. For me, this just isn't any fun. I'm also old enough to know that I have only scratched the surface of learning to ride well.
I just retired and I bought a bike a few years ago to go ride with some friends . I from north Texas area and as a kid I use to ride my bike at Bulcher . Most want know where that is but its a decent place to ride . So I bought a used road king and the owner said you ought to take the rider safety course . Yea that was good advice , probably saved my life many times . I replaced the Road king a few years ago and now have a Road glide and a Street glide . I tell my friends who will listen better take the safety class as ridding motor cross is not like dodging cars lol . I ride 2 up a lot . I enjoy ridding and I far from a expert . I had some learning experiences along the way . Thanks for the videos Sir
