In the UK they made it difficult for 17 year olds to get a full bike license quite a few years ago, I won’t bore you with the details but suffice to say it’s much easier to get your car license than a bike license, so for years there have been far fewer “new” motorcyclists joining the sport/hobby, the consequence is that at any biker gathering in the UK the vast majority of those there have either no hair or grey hair :).
Fortunately I fall into the 2nd category, in another 20 years there will be bike shop closures in the UK because there just won’t be enough of us left riding to sustain the market at its current level.
top tip at the age of 59 I feel and behave like a 30 year old, most of us do, so make preparations now to ensure you can enjoy yourself through your 50’s, 60’s and onwards, my father is 86 and still messes around with bikes, proving that age really is just a number 👍

Excellent! Yes, I can say that learning to ride @ 49, I've spent the last few years losing weight and increasing my endurance and flexibility. Don't have the raw strength I used to, but then, I can count on one hand the number of times that came in useful in my younger days! Endurance and flexibility though? Useful every day I get out of bed! Lol!

I'm 35 and I don't think I'm old) It all depends on your life style

I'm 39 and I regularly work out and take different supplements to stay strong and look younger. I started testosterone therapy and it helps me to look better and gain muscles faster. There are many good testosterone brands, but cypionate is the most effective. I read about testosterone cypionate injections before purchasing. The secret to its success is that cypionate has a long half-life of 7-12 days. Before considering testosterone therapy, it's crucial to consult a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your individual health status and determine whether testosterone therapy is appropriate for you.

It's all relative to your mind-set. Think you're "old" and your body will function like a geezer!!!

Being jock my entire life, I've always focused on keep my body healthy and in top shape. :)

I started riding at 13-yrs old on RM80 in friend's backyard and haven't stopped since! I'm turning 55 this year and still racing and doing as many trackdays as I can! :)

Well, I bought my first bike in 1970 and passed my test in 1971 and I've been riding most of the time since.

I've just downsized from a VFR800 to a CBR600 F2 but that's mostly to preserve my licence - the VFR was just too easy to ride at instant ban speeds.
