  If I die on a motorcycle, let it be known I chose to do so rather than living without. It&apos;s really that simple.

  I&apos;m 66. Just over two years ago, I was hit head-on by a drunk. A broken femur, wrist, and other injuries too numerous to list resulted in months of therapy, first just to walk again. But as soon as I was able to hold one of my seven bikes up and pull in the clutch, I was back in the wind. Lord willing, I&apos;ll never give it up.

  Got my motorcycle test past at the age of 16, in 1968. I’m still riding today, I’ll be 74 next birthday, and I’m still loving riding my motorcycles 🇬🇧👊🏻 ride safe ✊🏻

  I got my motorcycle license at 54 years old. Better late than never. Six years ago I had a serious accident caused by hitting a kangaroo that jumped towards me out of nowhere. Spent some time in hospital. I was so shaken by my experience that I decided to quit motorcycle riding. That lasted 11 months. I still yearned to &quot;get back on the horse&quot;. There was a void in my life and eventually I decided to get back on my bike. I was extra careful at the beginning but as time went by I regained my confidence. I ride most days and I cannot express the joy I get from riding. At 72 years old I hope to still have many more years enjoying my passion. Keep riding.

  At 86, my motorcycle is all I have that resembles adventure, which I have craved all my life: travel, sailing, scuba diving, hiking. I’ve aged out of most of that, but can still throw a leg over my Suzuki and head for the twisties. I’ll weep bitter tears when I have to park it for good.

  Got my license in my 50s, now 70. One of the greatest joys of my life. &nbsp;Will ride until I die.

  Riding is great exercise for your body and mind. I&apos;m 69 now and I feel so alive after a ride.

  I am a 70 year old lady rider, and I have been riding since I was 17. There is nothing more fun than riding with friends and stopping for lunch. There is too much beautiful country left that I want to see.

  I am 70 and I still ride. Everyone tells me how dangerous it is even though they have never ridden once.
