Actually, I bought a Ural, sidecar rig last month, so I will be able to continue to ride as long as I live. Right now (at 68), I don't have a problem with the heavier bikes, and the wife sitting behind me......but in another decade....who knows. Muscle tone, and balance sure don't improve with age. So if I'm lucky enough to make it to 85.....with the sidecar rig, I'll still be riding when weather permits.
RKS----Do light workouts with light weights! I do that & my wife & I ride a 2006 Sportster 1200 w/Trike Kit. As long as you stay in fairly good shape , You'll have no problem! I'm 71 ,wife 72 & we have no problem. The strongest muscle that you have is between you're ears! Irish
