lol..i believe they shouldn't let some old people drive cars... hehe...

 

Your dad isn't too old, although he might not be physically up to snuff at the moment. Give him some time to recover and go for a ride with him. My uncle rode until he was in his late 70's, his last ride coming six months before he passed away. As to your question - how old is too old - that varies for each individual and has more to do with mental and physical ability than age.

 

As long as you're physically and mentally capable (although I'm sure there are young riders not mentally capable ) of handling a bike, then by all means, enjoy! Life is too short no matter what age you are!

 

Great story I think if he can handle the bike and it makes him happy he should do it! Also I have a grandfather whos in his late 50s and still riding. Beleive me he still rides like a champ, so I wouldn't be to worried. Oh and +1 on his choice of bike the RC51 !!

 

+1

 

ride till ya die... or until 65 witch ever comes first
