- I've been wanting to start this series for some time.
Have you considered the fact that as you get older and get towards retirement that you might, once you get there be unable to enjoy your planned rides as often as you dream to do. This isn't a rare occurrence, because as much as we plan financially by investing well in to our retirement funds, we often don't invest in our own physical and mental well being.
This is part 1, just a quick introduction of what will become a constant flow of information on what we're doing to ensure we can keep riding our motorbikes long in to retirement. We live in a world of confusing and often misleading information when it comes to food, diet, exercise and health advice. So what we've decided to do is share our experience and show the ongoing results of what we're doing to make sure we give ourselves every chance of being able to comfortably stay in the saddle for multiple days and also stay ride fit for decades to come.
Make sure you subscribe to ensure you don't miss out on future uploads of what we hope will be inspiring to all. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

I'm one of those few that are younger who watch your channel - 23. I started riding a few years ago and have just brought an Adv bike. I find it to be more of a comfortable challenge coming from a naked sport bike. Granted I haven't ridden the fast bikes you're talking about but have had a few "oh shit" moments. I've really noticed the trend in age with guys and girls who are into Adv riding - you guys, MotoTrek, ARiemann, and a few others. I find that people who are a little older have a wealth of knowledge to share and are typically keen to pass it on. Thank you for doing exactly that. I'll keep an eye out for the rest of this series. I know I'm a few years off, but I think it's a great idea to be thinking of riding in retirement when you're younger. 👍
Thank you Matt. This we hope will be inspiration for riders of all ages. We’ve got loads of enthusiasm and information to share on this 👍🏼🙂
Awesome, Looking forward to the follow up videos. Thank you.
It’s gonna be great Martin. Got some awesome stuff to share going forward 🙂👍🏼 CHEERS
Cant wait for this little series Neil! Fantastic topic and fantastic introduction video. Cant wait to see Chantal more in the vids!
Thanks Suzena, hope you’ve had chance to ride, spring is coming. Some stuff coming soon for you too 🙂👍🏼
Getting fit for health sake gets boring quickly... Getting fit for an upcoming ride is the perfect motivator.
Hi Andrew, you’re right mate it can! This is exactly the direction we’re taking 👍🏼 … Hoping that what we show will inspire a few people. We’re excited to bring this to the channel. Cheers mate 🙂
Great topic, Mate! I am the same age as you, so I am looking forward to this series of posts. For me, I am still suffering from what I call "Pandemic Jet Lag" - lock downs were really tough on me, mentally and on my fitness and eating habits. I am finally just starting to get myself sorted, but at 56, divorced and a lone wolf, it's been a struggle. And you are 100% right - my dream is to at least partially retire soon and ride a lot more, but if I don't get my mental and physical health on track, the last thing I feel up for is a challenging ADV ride. Thanks for covering this!
Well mate, we’ve been talking about this for some time, and we’re very excited to bring it to everyone. It’s going to be a bit different and hopefully inspiring. There’s some interesting topics coming up soon 🙂👍🏼
W❤W! That’s Tremendously Awesome! Have a lovely week! Cheers!🥂❤️✨
thanks for watching ... this series starts in a couple of weeks :-)
I just stumbled onto your channel. I live in the western USA. I retired early in 2018 at 62 years old because my career had finally burned me out. In Dec 2021, I had a heart attack, came out of it ok, and did physical therapy for 4 months. In July of last year, at 66 years old, I knew that life was way too short and it was time to fulfill a dream I had since I was 15 years old. I took off on my 2005 Harley Fatboy, spent 9 weeks on the road loan-wolfing it, and rode 11,000 miles through 26 states and 2 Canadian provinces. It was a dream of a lifetime come true that I will always cherish, and the first time I have ever felt truly free. I am thinking about my next long-distance trip. Do it while you can mates.
Great story mate. Well done and stay healthy now. Keep up the great work and keep riding 👍🏼🙌🏼🙂
Hi your vid just randomly came up on my feed but what you said really hit home , I’m 52 and last 8 months has been pretty hard having a full thumb reconstruction in March finally got back to work in may then hurt my back 2 weeks ago now sitting back at home after getting a steroid injection to lower spine .
I still have my 2005 Hayabusa and agree the policing has taken the enjoyment out of riding so have just picked up a 2023 Tenere 700 and looking forward to getting the fun back in riding will be following your future post with interest
Mate, well hopefully we can help you keep on that road to recovery. We’re excited to share all this. Keep in touch and congrats on the T7. You will love it 😊
Thank you for thinking about female riders. Also I am from India and I am 30 years old who want to keep riding till my 60s ❤️❤️❤️you and her are our idols
THANK 😊 YOU 🙏 well we can guarantee that what we will be sharing is going to be very interesting and useful for everyone 🙂 we hope to inspire people of all ages 👍🏼
Thanks again
Neil
Nice video - I’d like to think I’m (in a small way!) part of the inspiration - given our chat last week! Another day cycling and made it to the gym.
Looking forward to following this and seeing where it goes.
It helped push the ‘go’ button mate yes. Some of what we discussed will definitely be involved 😃👍🏼
Hi Paul here in Sheffield,Fantastic channel 1st time I’ve clicked on just switched over from BMW and just bought the world raid fantastic video reference your dashboard mount Great detail keep up the great work.
Thanks again Paul. Hope Yorkshire isn't too cold mate. I'm originally from Bingley area.
@@TheRiderGuider yes I thought I recognise our accent. I was going to say Leeds area unfortunately as you would know the weather here is horrific 50 mile an hour wind heavy rain🤘🤘
I am planning to retire ASAP. I've been working since I was 12. Time for fun now.
You teachers are epic mate. We’ve got some great stuff to share going forward. Hopefully some things that will inspire you a little 🙂👍🏼
All right, all right stop having a go at me! 😉😂🤣🤣 Didn't know I was that much older than you. I can tell you that you are bang on with this video as I've not done the best for myself health wise, and yes I know you gave me a lot of direction but sometimes I'm a bit lazy and life seems to get in the way. Now riding in my sixties I have noticed that I have issues with leg pain when riding for more that 8 or 9 hours which even a couple of years ago was non existent. Over the last year or two my favorite magazine (Real Classic) has had many letters and the odd story of how older riders have been able to keep riding and it seems the majority start to struggle with the sheer mass of a big bike so consequently moving to something smaller, lighter and in quite a few cases more moderner helps keep them in the saddle. I will be watching for more of these with interest Neil. BTW Demographic of mine is also only 2-3% females. I just put it down to me being so ugly!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣All the best and ride safe and happy.
Gary, what you’re saying here is the exact reason we’re doing this. Thank you for commenting. As you know Chantal is an absolute knowledge on quite a lot of what we’re going to be doing and sharing 🙂 … we understand too that always doing the supposed right thing isn’t easy, but we hope to show that it’s easier than people think, and that it’s never too late to make an adjustment or two to keep heading in the right direction 🙂👍🏼 CHEERS MATE
A great and very important message. Sensational scenery, what road is that mate? I'm a fellow Adelaide rider.
I am 70 years old and I've been riding motorcycles since I was 14 years old and I rode bikes for over 40 years my caution to anybody that rides a motorcycle is always wear a helmet and protective gear and boots and eye protection make certain you are one hundred percent sober and always remember they are not toys and you can be killed or worst paralyzed for going to the store a ride in your neighborhood racially Treat Williams a learned that lesson the hard way be safe have your Affairs in order when you ride
Hi Eric, wise words indeed. Thank you🙏 … biking is wonderful and such a valuable skill not to be abused. Cheers 👍🏼
@@TheRiderGuider I learned the hard way many times believe me when I tell you one time I was riding my Honda Super 90 with no shoes on I scraped my toenails off my left foot ouch! Another time I wiped out drunk and I was going about 80 miles an hour I never felt a thing I didn't walk around for over a year I do know what I'm talking about anyway great job on the video thank you very very much keep up the good work thank you
