There is getting older and then there is aging.  The aging part of it can be slowed considerably if a person takes care of him or her self.  That means eating right and exercising.  Sorry. ;)

If the King Of Fitness Jack Lalanne didn't make it to 100, died last year at only 96. Than us regular guys don't have a chance of making to the century mark :(

I'm finding short term memory & long term for that matter a problem. Take something off the bike, can't remember what I did with it 5 minutes later. This song pretty well sums it up.

I don't want to live to be that old...when I'm old and can't get around well and if I am a grouchy old man, just put me out of my misery.

Heck, before long we shroud all be living 150 years.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

it sucks getting older sometimes

Other times not!
Slung my fat butt onto a dirt bike for the first time in 25 years. Went to a club "dirt track day" and belted hell out of a '78(?) IT400 and an IT250. I was slower that a wet afternoon watching olympic equestrian, but had a ball! I've never dirt tracked before, and probably would not have been given the opportunity to try it had I not been "of a sensible age".

Of course "sensible" is open to interpretation!
I am in the white helmet. No on-track photos, 'cause each time I was out so was the photographer.  :-\

I was once a nationally ranked power lifter.  Now I can no longer use my muscles to move things my brain thinks are too heavy.  Two blown disks in your lower back brings a man back to reality faster than finding out that your friends were right, she IS a tranny.
