Ride your ride mate - was on 2 wheels for over 40 years - moved on to 3 and at 68 I reckon it will have added 10 years onto my riding journey- love the 3 and no need to ever pick it up 👍
😂😂😂 great video mate 👍🏻 How old to keep riding bikes, my mate is 76 and he still rides not so much in winter though. So plenty of time riding for us 😁🤙🏻
Never too old. As well as crash bars, they can be fitted with drop-down stabilizers and a reverse gear kit. And if it really comes to it, there is the MotoWinch portable hoist. Seriously considering another Harley for 2024, and not getting any younger, so have to think about these things 😂😂
Well, I can tell you 66 is not too old. Been riding for 50 years and don't look to give it up anytime soon. You got to look at your health and abilities as you age.
Well I traded in my 2017 Street Glide for a 2022 Heritage Classic because it is so much easier to get it in and out of the garage. I've owned 2 Street Glides now and have loved them but they have always been a little heavy for me. I'm 5'6" and 150 lbs with short legs. The Heritage is perfect for me. I fail in love with it on test ride and did the deal. I'm 70 hears old now and am planning or riding up in to my 80's. Oh I just bought a new ZX4RR and I love it.
It's all good for now, just one of those things that pop into your head when you're out and about. The King would only get changed for a Glide for the foreseeable. That's the only other bike I've had my eye on.
You're never too old to ride a Harley.. crash bars makes that the bike doesnt fall totally flat.. now without them crashers you'd have a problem.. I wish I had a Harley.. I'd ride the crap out of it.. 😂 You need to start prechecking the cake shops in the area you're going to my brother.. then you wont be left searching.. Great content man.. love watching you get lost.. with your rain cloud hanging over you everywhere you go.. and your Sat-Nav that's constantly trying to kill you.. 😂 Much love brother.. Ride on..
@@1guyaharleyandadrone657 that's it.. now to see if takealot has one of those.. or bidorbuy.. 😂😂😂 Just dont get it from wish cos we know how that will end..
If you lose your balance or leg strength, you can get a tri-glide. If you get a bad back, lose feeling in your extremities, lose vision, have a bad heart, then may have to give up motorcycling.
NEVER. 😄I've got a bad back, I lose feeling in your extremities every time I go for a trip in winter and my eyes are buggered. All is great in the world 😂😂😂
I can pick up anything up to 100kg, basically a Grom. Otherwise I'd just have to show a bit of ankle, batt my eyelashes and wait for a burly man to come and help me 😂 I can help with directions though. The place you can't pronounce is Ilfracombe, the first place you didn't know was the Home of Gorilla Pizza, Kilkhampton, you got lost in the Pottington Business Park in Barnstaple and the second place you didn't know was Braunton, home of EpicAdam Motovlogs The beautiful Atlantic Highway is like that early in the morning, out of season.😊
I always thought the question was ' when are you old and fat enough to ride a harley?' Didn't get my first hd till I was 51 but it doesn't feel like an old mans bike, it's a loud obnoxious hooligan of a thing 😂
@1guyaharleyandadrone657 I think the one thing in their favour is they are pretty much infinity rebuildable , and not overly complicated compared to a lot of modern bikes. I'm not a mechanic but am confident with a spanner, and did my own stage two upgrade, camshaft oil pump etc.
@TheLeevtr The best I've done is attached bits back on when they fall off. Not good with a spanner but I have a trusted man who is. I really don't want to be broken down in the middle of nowhere and that's what would happen if I took to doing the work 😅
In answer to your question - 67 , ex RM , one metal knee, been riding mostly Italian sports bikes since 17, have admitted defeat and on the 98 Cali which can’t fall too far over because of the crash bars and panniers 😂 so I this fine for a while longer 😵💫
I’m always surprised and happy that there a lot of older motorcyclists, I’m late 40’s and happy to think I have many more years ahead 👍 soon be summer 😊
My mate stopped riding at 84 because he felt he wouldn't be able to pick it up if it fell on him. I traded down to a Rebel 500 this year from a much heavier bike, due to health problems. If it gets any worse, I'll buy a scooter 🤣 There are always options if you don't have an ego the size of a planet. I know people who gave up rather than trade down... very sad.
In answer to your question, personally, I'll ride my bike for as long as I'm fit enough to not be dangerous to anyone including myself. I spoke to a guy recently who got off a big new KTM, don't know what model. After talking for a while he told me he was 78 years old and had never been on a bike till his children got him lessons and a CBT test for his 70th Birthday. He's now got a full licence and had several bikes before the new KTM. Age is just a number.
It is indeed sir and you're right about the dangerous thing. My only concern would be as I said picking something up. Image you're in the middle of nowhere and even wind takes the bike off it's stand and you a buggered. I suppose there's always a way.
@@1guyaharleyandadrone657 yes that's a fair point, I'm not sure that I could pick mine up just now if I dropped it never mind in 10 years time. I wonder if anyone has ever called the AA or RAC to get assistance in picking up their motorbike.
The age thing is something ive been battling with recently. I was the victim of a hit snd run recently . I was just a bit bruised but i could not pick up my 1200 Super Tenere on my own . Im 61 , but a physically strong gym-going 61 . Really made me think . Its horrible getting old😢
It's a bit crap isn't it. Might be young in the head but there's no doubt the other bits are ageing somewhat. It was just a thought that popped in my head. I love the big tour bikes but at some point thought will have to be taken about the size and weight. Go safe chaps.
Was thinking this morning. Weather forecast is crap up north rest of the week, guaranteed you are up there somewhere not flying the drone and getting lost. Ill look forward to footage over Xmas....
Well age is just a number…. but I think you’re right in that assumption…. at least it is how I think about it… don’t want to be “fighting” a bike but rather enjoying it… riding a Triumph T100 now…. about 230kg…. can handle more for sure but don’t want to 😊
Hahaha your brain just stop working after thinking about Tori Amos , can't blame ya, Chief 😅, I put the subtitles on because of the wind noise, text said you're 28 haha Well it must be the milage then buddy not the years thats guven you the gray😂 , Im pure white up top now so cant say anything myself, ride till you drop mate✊️..Cheers scott
I don't suppose there is an age that applies to everyone. I'm mid sixties now and thankfully still fit but you will know when it time to move on from heavy bikes.
You’re still a spring chicken. A Harley is a right of passage. The older you get the more you’ve earned it. As you get older you get other people to pick it up for you 😊
Most people around me are in “age” since their 20s. Forget about that sh… Motorcycling has no age. Brain has, or your unhealthy body. That’s your fault until sick (even so often selfinduced, too) or in your very last hand ful of years. If you can cycle, you can motorcycle, so stop winging.

What an advantage to have and 1 more wheel not to slip around on stupid banks covered in leaves as well. 😃
😂😂😂 great video mate 👍🏻
How old to keep riding bikes, my mate is 76 and he still rides not so much in winter though. So plenty of time riding for us 😁🤙🏻
I'm sure we could manage to mount a zimmer frame on a bike as well 😂
Bloody good show mate! Good to see someone ride a Harley the right way, not like all the burnout cowboys out there👍
Only just put a back tyre on it. Bloody expensive 😂. Thank you 👍

Drop down stabilizers 🤣🤣🤣Reminds me of being a kid and first bike.

Going strong sir 👍. I've always fancied the Glide and its about the only bike I'd consider changing to. Thanks so much for watching.
Hey Kenny, if the king is to heavy, get a sport glide, nice and light and fast, good for old fellas
It's all good for now, just one of those things that pop into your head when you're out and about. The King would only get changed for a Glide for the foreseeable. That's the only other bike I've had my eye on.

Totally agree. I don't think they are an old man's bike at all. I know the company does struggle with the younger market.
@@1guyaharleyandadrone657 part of that's probably the price of the things
@TheLeevtr Defo. Not the cheapest to buy or maintain.
