How old is too old for an old man to be riding a R3R.

Hummm, well, at 64, the only complaint I have, besides the arthritis, is when I'm buzzing along at say 70/80 mph, with a "T" shirt on, and I look over to either side, and notice these "chicken wings" flapping in the wind! Guess it's time for long sleeve shirts!

If it feels good let em flap. Just keep up the strength to hold on to the beast.

53 ain't nothing. I'm happy as hell you bought, not just a bike, but a real bad ass bike at age 53. Shows you're far from slowing down. Go ride that sum *****...but remember, if you experience an erection for more than 4 hours, well, just keep riding!!!!

Yes indeed !!! Im 53 and I dont plan on slowing down either!!!

I'll be 63 in January, and just got my R3R a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not planning on quitting any time soon (or later, for that matter).

My balance riding at a crawl isn't as good as it use to be, but...at 71 I go a lot faster than that. I can still throw a leg over it and ride. I guess a lot of ot depends on your health. Overall mine is still good so I think I'll keep riding. I've learned not to pull in on a downward incline and I could use a reverse assist, but other than that... I'm good.
