I liked one of the comments - "don't be so afraid to die that you're afraid to live." - from an old Harley man on about the third or fourth page.  The guys in the film have plenty of years, and physical problems, but they aren't old.

For Wullie2, a good many years ago my family got pedal bikes, we were going to go ridies.  They were second hand, and a few odd jobs were needed, so I made myself a shopping list, and set off for the local bike shop on my bike.  I hadn't ridden it for quite some time.  It was about a mile away, over a railway bridge.  I spent ten minutes pretending to look at things in the window before I felt I had enough breath to ask the shopkeeper about the stuff on the list.

I've worked at a crematorium for the last 13yrs and it's made me realise that you've got to live every day like it's your last and that you have to do those things you always wanted to do now before it's too late.  I've gone and got myself a 125cc Yamaha bike, taken my cbt and am saving up to take my bike test because that was one of those things.

Great video!!
I hope that at 81 I'll still be riding my bike ;)
Currently 61 and have been riding for 40 years - growing old disgracefully :-))
My current ride (just sold for an upgrade)

Believe it or not Audi, when I was 18 roughly about 12 years ago  O0
I had a BSA C15 250cc motorbike with crash-bars fitted,( thank goodness ) It slid from under me on a few
occasions.
I was not sorry to see the back of that thing.
Thanks for the offer but I am sticking to cars thank you,
I cant fall off.   :-))
