Who is the oldest Gasser here????
Me, 69 and not really proud of it. It is said, "Youth is such a wonderful thing but such a crime to waste it on the young.

Coming up 68 - just rebuilt a 2007 300 and got a 2015 250.
I ride enduro through Track and Trail, Green lanes and have a go on a couple of Mx tracks. This is UK . |

73 here.
Started riding dirt in '71 or so. Raced mx from '72 till '83. Still have the last bike I raced on a regular basis, a '80 Montesa VF414F. Current stable is '13 BMW F800R for street, '01 GG XC 200 off road , a '17 Husky FE 250 for dual sport & a '96 Suzuki DR 350S dual sport (that someone gave me) No mx , but still enjoy trail riding & more off road oriented dual sport.

You guys still going strong in your late 60's and early 70's are my heros, I certainly hope I can keep going that long, thats my dream.

I'm not that old at 66 and still enjoy riding in the woods. Once you get to 60 all sorts of things start changing. Funny little aches and pains you never had before etc. All you can do is keep moving forward; sit still and you'll really go downhill.
Wander through the local mall and eavesdrop on the old folks, most of the talk is about their failing health. Stay active and have something to do when you retire. Watch this "50 years of kicks" video if you haven't seen it already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_T41kJm-PE

I have asked this question before, but never hurts to ask again. I am a 45 year old teenager who would like to still be riding dirt when i'm in my 70's, so what advice can you old(er) (according to your birth certificate!) bullets give that will make it easier?
Things that you wish you had done (or not done) that make it easier/harder to ride? things like going to the gym regularly, swimming, yoga etc, spending money on good suspension etc I am already getting aches and pains in my fingers and so it has me wondering.... is it time to get a licence and register with ADVrider.com??

How to stay fit
I guess the biggest thing is do not quit. I played soccer in league play until I was 57, still miss it. I ran 10K's until two years ago and lifted weights. For the past two years about all I have done is ride and keep up 7 acres of land. I know I am not what I was when riding moto-x back in the day but I still feel smooth when hooking it down the trails. My best advice is learn to let the bike do the work when riding. Thanks to all here being nice to us old guys.
