@therev1959 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! My husband turned 70 this year, and has asked himself the same questions. He has over 500,000 miles on motorcycles, and in fact leaves in a couple days for a 5 day camping trip, pulling his tent trailer behind his Goldwing!

Many older folk morph to a trike setup, to gain more confidence and stability. Factors to take into consideration is your general health, any medications you're taking, safety issues. Here is a link with some good points to consider: https://www.mcrider.com/all-older-riders-lose-this-how-it-affects-your-safety-on-a-motorcycle/

My husband has his Goldwing, plus a CanAm Ryker Rally [3 wheel] and a Suzuki V-Strom 850 dual sport. Getting enjoyment from your motorcycle riding is one way to stay young!

I currently ride a 2018 Triumph Bonneville T120. Im thinking of downsizing to a Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 when they finally come stateside. Not on meds, but really think a lighter bike would be easier to handle.
