I hope that when I am 79 I will still be out riding around.

I hope you will be too.

We had a guy in our antique motorcycle club that still rode when he was 90. He even would bitch if we were riding too slow on our old machines.

I attended a BMW rally last year and there was a fellow at the rally who rode his BMW 600 miles to the rally.  He was 93.  However, he was saying his goodby to the rally attendees at the awards ceremony.  He told us that it was getting too difficult for him to go that distance to the rally and would no longer be riding his BMW to the rally anymore.  I imagine that I would have thrown in the towel long before that.   ;)

An update report.

That annoying clicking sound heard on the video was due to a buckle on GoPro's chest harness. The hard plastic buckle is very close to the hard plastic camera mounting chest plate. With very slight movement, such as speaking, the buckle taps against the plate and the sound is transmitted directly through the plastic to the built in camera mic.

I have alerted GoPro to the problem, along with photos, and it has been passed along to their development dept. Hopefully they will correct the design for future buyers of the "Chesty" harness. I corrected the problem on my harness by placing padding between the buckle and the plate. I glued on a piece of thin foam rubber similar to wet suit material. See photo.
