Contrary to common belief, age and location do not dictate who rides and who doesn't. I'm almost 59, been riding road and dirt bikes since I was 10, and lived in Chicago for 6 years where I rode one of my Harleys.

Currently still riding a Harley as well as several vintage early 70's 2 stroke killer dirt machines. Loving every second of it. The only drawback to the age thing is that body parts take a bit longer to heal (my 500 Husky threw me two years ago and broke my left foot...oh well, just part of the deal).
