Age of tri riders
- Thread starter 67wizard
- Start date
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.

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

Congrats, I can't say any of that! Actually done all of the above, plus ate dirt, inhaled asbestos, Freon, and burnt rubber and lots of exhaust fumes :AGGHH:

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.
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.
70 will arrive for me in may 2018. Jim
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:
Kansas old rider
Been riding since I was 8 - 9 years old, I've had about everything over the years.
But I'm moving up on 76 and now have 14 Triglide and a Hondo Shadow and ride any time I get chance.
This year wife and I have been CO,OK,AR,MO,IL,KY,TN,NC,OK and lots of KS roads since we live in KS.
