Harley Davidson Riders DIE Early - Shocking Truth!

I will be 82 in a couple of months. I have been riding a 99 Softail Custom for the last 13 years. Rode an 84 Iron head Sportster for 23 years before that. My first Harley was a 1942 45 flat head when I was 14 in 1955. I am 6'1" and weigh 165. My daughter went to a Harley dealership to buy me a tee shirt. They asked her what size to get me. When she told them, she said to the other sales person, this girl wants a tee shirt for a bean pole. LOL I have a bad back and neuropathy in my feet. Riding seems to help both. I do not do long rides anymore. Just an hour or so around the back roads where I live mostly, and to the town a couple of miles away of only 7500 population. I started riding on a friends Pacemaker Whizzer motor bike when I was 8 years old. Lord willing and the creek don't rise I will keep riding for a while. Most of my riding is without a windshield and with a helmet and goggles. The pillow seat and buckhorn bars, and the forward controls make this bike as comfortable as sitting in my Lazy Boy recliner. Do not need a radio, I have open drag pipes. Been a motor head all my life. I still wear my leather jacket I bought at Montgomery Wards when I was 14. I took a girl for a ride on my 42 Harley when I was 15. We have been married for 63 years.

59 years old and took your push-up challenge. Did 12, with some struggling and some weird sounds! Thanks for the encouragement. I’m on my third day in a row and plan to continue. ( still only 12, but it’ll improve)

I'm 76, riding since 1964. Own a large Harley but... I need to start to exercise... Today!!! Thanks for the wake up call!!

Mate, great advice. I'm 53. I started out doing the offiical Push-up Challenge 3 years ago, the one to raise awareness of mental health, That was around 3318 pushups over a 25 day period. When I started I could only do sets of 10. Myself and another decided to keep the challenge going. This year 4 of us are completing 3323 pushups each, over a 25 day cycle, for a 12 month period. The daily amount varies between 75-220. I now bang mine out in sets of 40. We are now in our 10th month. You are right that you need to do them, and general excercise, regularly. I have a busy lifestyle but still find time to do them. Once you're used to them you're doing about 1 pushup every 1-2 seconds. Everyone can find a spare 40-80 seconds in their day. Great topic and enjoying your channel.

You have earned my respect sir. Any man who is not afraid to tell it like it is (climate change bullshit, vaccine bullshit) is OK with me. Subscribed.

It’s good advice for HD riders, not given often enough. I’m 58, 3 yrs sober and mentally & physically in great shape. Like you said ~ it’s the quality of life that truly matters💯🦾🔥🏍

Late to the conversation, but I run a 5 mile in 40 minutes. I bench 100kg several time. Was a lot more in my younger days. 62 years old, former US Special Forces soldier. I ain’t fat. Oh, I can do a push-up for ever year I am old.

I’m 62 years old, and I’m ripped…I workout religiously, I eat clean and I’m unvaxxed. And yes I ride a Harley-Davidson. Ride swift, ride safe everyone. STAY HARD💪. 🏍💨🔥…🇨🇦✌️😎

Well done brother.. I’m 59 and the fittest I’ve ever been in my life for the exact reasons you’re talking about . 👍

56 years old, 25 push-ups, Road glide Special and Kawasaki Vulcan 1700cc. Thank you God.

I am 73 and still riding. Six months ago I started the strength training program. The basic three. Squats, bench press and dead lift. Feels good to just exercise. Get that blood circulating.

I'm Billy from US. I'm 72 years old still riding a 2010 Road King Classic and I did 12 regular push-ups for the challenge. But I do 50 modified pushups daily (knees on ground, per ddoctor's orders). as part of my daily routine that takes about 10 minutes. Great Video!

Found this channel via Million Dollar Bogan. Enjoyed the vlog. I’m a 66 yr old retiree riding a 2013 Roadking. I did the one month challenge of 100 push-ups a day for 30 days. 20 x 5 sets. Discovered the more I do the more I can do , the more I can do then the more I want to do, the more I want to do then the more I do! Keep moving Brother!

I've lost several friends from Bike wrecks, Unfortunately they all made bad choices when they decided to ride and not take a cab. I never ever ride if I've been having a few, But I also know that even if I keep my head on a swivel which I do....when your number comes up ,it comes up ! Until then at the age of 65 I will continue to Twist it !!

Great advice brother , great vlog, I work in the mining game , just turned 59, I climb three sets of stairs up to 30 times a day , keeps me fit .I had a crack at those push ups thinking it would be a piece of piss, I struggled to 10, you've given me motivation to get to 50 push ups . Love the brother hood of man attitude you have , cheers and thanks

AM 73 NOW BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES SINCE 13

I'm 59 i ride a cvo Street glide just done 50 push ups, but I do 50 every morning & every evening.

Jim kraft hi old timer. Im 85 srarted in 1956, in germany. Glad to see there is couple of still around. Survived leukemia, survive cancer, Survived a. heart attack. I ride a 2007 street glide to which ,due to balance and strength issues, I had a sidecar mounted. Just recently, again, due my inability to use my left foot to shift gears, I had a" jockey shift" installed. I work out at the local gym (not as much as I used to. In an effort to delay as much as possible until they "roll me away" keep the rubber side down. Regards.

A Lot of Harley Riders smoke and drink.. yup many of them do die young.. Commercial Truck Drivers too.

Man, what a hidden gem of a channel. Please continue to share your wisdom and positivity with us in the future my brother.

you need to feel fit before you should ride regarding what bike you ride, I find cycling helps to make feel fitter before I twist the throttle,

Been riding 50 years I was never over weight till my heart attack that was 9 months ago. Im working on losing 40 pounds its harder to get rid of it than gain it . My brother died of brain cancer 75 we went out 2 months before he died he had no idea he had it . I worked with men in their 80s who still road Both owned their business . 4 pushups but im all busted up 2 torn rotator cuff, spinal stenosis, plus a heart attack . i have quit smoking . i will ride till i feel unsafe on the bike . I could do 100 pushups in 2018 , 2019 I started falling off . I will never own no Electric Car or Bike . I drilled 500 oil wells so all them that want to ban cars could drive they never wanted to walk to the bus stop . no mater how many things you show them they still think its Man made lol

Great video mate I really enjoyed that. I need to get cracking on those push-ups

I see a lot of foolish behavior on motorcycles, some of the main reasons are MC clubs where people hang out drinking, smoking dope, then riding away jacked up. Then you got people riding or trying to ride HD's like sports bikes which they're not designed for. Harley Davidson's are not performance machines, they are hot air cooled, low-end power, 1950's/1960's tech bikes. Last is that most people over ride their ability in addition to having a bike to big for them.

52 years old ,did 4 push ups ,but just got over a cold and dogs jumping on me ,will try again later today away from my dogs ,

You just never know. About 7 years ago, I returned to my small hometown located in Northeast Arkansas. While there I ran into an old classmate. We were both 54 years old at the time of this meeting. He invited me to his home for an afternoon BBQ. About 5:00 pm on this day, after everyone was finished eating, I informed my buddy I had to head out because I live about 4 hours away. I pulled into my driveway at about 10:30 pm that night. When I entered my house, I had a message on the answering machine. It was my friend's sister calling to let me know my friend had a heart attack about an hour after I left and passed away. Like I say, you just never know when that last breath will occur.

63, medically retired from the U.S. Military due to autoimmune diseases. I’ve been riding for 50+ years and I live with serious pain 24/7. Not whining and in fact just the opposite. Riding is the least painful way of traveling and also my favorite means of traveling and getting a little workout without unnecessary shock to my skeletal system for the most part. Less talking, more Riding.

67 and I did 15 before my dog thought I wanted to play. Probably could do 5 more. I do a chin up challenge every year for my birthday. The goal is to do 10 on my birthday. I usually start about a month before. The chin up challenge is a lot harder, since most people can’t even do one. I mainly do them because my shoulder hurts when I ride after about an hour, and those chin ups help a lot.

Good show! Indian rider here: 16 Scout and 18 RoadMaster. 55 y/o male - just pumped out 40 push-ups for ya mate!

Whatt??? I am 81 and ride now a 15 year old Harley, and have been riding motorbikes since my 18th birthday. I have smoked everything, drunk everything and ate eveything. The hard work of riding the Harley kept me fit and lively. So, keep riding to stay young!

There are many life conditions worse than death. I’m an old retired medical vet and I’ve seen them. I’ve been riding a long time, several bikes, in multiple states. I’ve noticed my Harley buddies grow old. It’s a shame the bikes have gotten too expensive and too big, kinda refusing to compete. Political s#;t gets on my nerves. Harley Davidson made the decision, not us. Thanks for sharing this…from east Tennessee.

Problem is you can be overweight and look & feel cool on a Fatboy (pun intended), Road King,...etc. At 58, my sleak & sporty looking 2017 V-ROD Muscle FORCES me to stay fit. Simular to Sportbikes, a fat f@&$ would look ridiculous on a V-ROD.

Amon appreciate your work, I found your channel by accident at a time in my life where it was needed. I'm an active advocate for making memories ride a 800 Adventure bike & 250 YZ250FX on the dirt. Last nine weeks I've spent time in hospital and hadto face the likelyhood that one leg was going to be amputated below the knee as an infection wasn't playing ball. I'm tethered to a vacuum pump 24 / 7 but if it heals me so be it Keep up your good work mate 🙂 appreciated.

51 years old and was doing 300 pushups a day before I went down in 2020. Trying to get back into doing the pushups. Even with a separated shoulder. My count was 40!!!! Army vet/Retiree here. GET SOME!!!!

71 years old. I just did 5 pushups. I maybe could have gotten 1 or 2 more. I bought a 2010 Harley Davidson 883 Sportster four months ago. I bought the 883 because I didn't know if I could even ride a motorcycle after thirty five years of not riding. I've put 3,200 miles on it in less than four months! I think I can still ride! I purely love it! I cannot figure out why I stopped riding thirty five years ago.

I did 11, with room for maybe 3 or 4 more. I'm 59 on a 2011 Ultra Classic and have Stage IV kidney cancer and a surgically- repaired shoulder. Didn't even know I could still do push-ups until just this moment, so thanks for the suggestion. Gonna go take a nap now.

The priest read me last rights in 2012! Huh 😂 8 months after acute renal failure, I was back on my Sporty. The doctors insisted I won't last another year. Huh 😂 One day before that one year anniversary, I walked into an ER and said that I was having a heart 😮😅 10 days after my heart attack, I was back on my Harley. Then I barn found my 2002 FXSTDI Deuce, and fell in love with the bike. We all have guardian angels. Mine work overtime 😂😅

I belong to the HDRCGB, our average age is 59 years old, with many in their mid 70’s. It’s the smile on your face that riding a Harley gives you keeps us all young at heart.

Hi there, so I just bought my first bike. It's a Harley, good shape and a steal. So, I bought it, it needed a few upgrades that I would find useful. New tire, forward controls, apes and crash bar. So, I haven't learned how tom ride yet, but very soon. (I'm excited, a little scared) I'm 32 so I'm getting a late start. I'm obese. I'm just a tad below or right at 400 pounds. Now, I think different of most fellas my age. But, I see Harley's like muscle cars. Rockets are like tuners. Each their own. But, long story short. Be happy, be hard to kill and do what you want. Also, you can say fuck all you want. Love the content!

I'm 57 yrs old and 60lbs over weight. I did my 11 push ups. But it was my max 😂. Dang , I could do 100 in my Prime. I just went back on my diet. I lost 50 pounds last time. Think I need to do some weight lifting again. 🙄

71 and counting here in Texas. You are right quality of life is important. I do a 55 minute HIT workout that includes, among other things, 100 push ups and light weight ass to the floor squats. I haven't been riding Harleys the last 4 years more about the cost than anything else. I am semi retired. Don't like riding old bikes so changing HD bikes every 2 or 3 years gets expensive. I am in my Italian phase. Currently riding a Moto Guzzi. Just found your Vlog and enjoying it.

WOW! i did do more than I thought I could. 63 years young 21 was my max. haven't done pushups for at least ten years. I will check back in 2 months. set it in my calendar. thank you for the encouragement. Wyoming, USA. ( fat capitalistic American. damn straiinght)

So far I liked everything you've done till now. I can't do one push-up! I didn't know push-ups would be required. LOL, I'm 71.

Great advice. I'm 75, ride a Heritage, and work on my gentleman's ranch daily. I'm not overweight, but handling my bike has become increasingly difficult due to old injuries returning to haunt me. I'll give the push-ups a go...

Hi, I did the challenge. Since I am almost always riding with my 10 year old son, I completed 25 push ups, 11 for me, 11 for him 😂 and 3 more because I suck at math (it's not true, but I need to fulfill this cliche 😜)

most will work theirselves to death and starve to pay for the overpriced lump. nice bikes but please ! really?! 20 k for a f'n 2 wheeled thing with no a/c ? overpriced. sorry. i can barely afford a rusted broken one and keep my other responsibilities in order. i ride rice for now .

Just watched your video,totally agree and enjoy your video and will watch more. From Alberta Canada ride 2016 Fatboy S 117 age 65 just did your pushup challenge, did 40 could have sqeezed out another 10 but still recovering from tendon injury R elbow.....Your right most Harley riders R out of shape to the point of obese....I believe like U keeping in shape may not allow U to live longer but your quality of life is way better....

I'll be 60 in 2 days and I have many miles to ride before I check out. Great topic! Eric

I use my Harley as a workout! Excellent video chap, new subscriber. Harley riders might be fatter, but our wallets sure aren’t after the motor company gets their hands on it 😂 👍🇬🇧

But how can that theory be right ? If you haven't done a single push up for 40 years and your doctor said right give me 40 push ups, you might make 20 but there is a very slim chance you going to do 40,if your in your 50s. But if you did push ups every day for a month you would do 40 easy, I think anyway.

Actually Jesus Christ is The Only Savior and The Bible really is the life manual, and nobody’s ever truly happy until they realize it, ✌🏻

I ride a 2023 lowrider s I just did 11 push ups I’m 55

I'm 61, I can do 40. I've been a trashman for 40 years! Like getting paid to go to the gym, 10 hours a day. I can run circles around guys 1/3 my age.

Alright Eamon, you got 40 push-ups out of me. 42 years old. Watching from the US, enjoying your show. 11:30

I have got abit over wieght after a bullriding accident 5 years ago but im back on the fitness train. I got 30 push up sit ups and squats 3 times. I'm Nelly 40yo.

While I applaud your efforts on behalf of fittness, I think we need to be more honest. Watching you do pushups made me realize that I could double my pushup number just by doing them like you do. You only go half way up before you go down again so they are half pushups. For a real pushup you need to push all the way up until your arms are straight. You didn't come close.

54 and work out regularly & work in the construction industry, I mention that because it’s so easy to come home tired and blow off working out . So when those days rear their ugly head and you just can’t bring yourself to get busy , don’t let those days accumulate, tomorrow is a new day. Staying fit is so important so when those magical times come in life we can fully participate & enjoy them … love this channel!

It's refreshing when you hear someone who out of the millions is awake to the current agenda. Thank you for your content.

49 yr old military retiree from 'murica on 3rd riding season...25 pushups. Thanks for that!

metabolism tends to slow down as we get older so easier to gain weight and harder to lose it as we pass 40.. that's just biology.. regular exercise and healthy diet will always help at any age... so its not really the riding the HD that kills ya, its the poor health.. just paused this and smashed out 20.. will try another 20 a bit later... most I got up to was 100 a day for about a week.. need to work back towards that I think... (turning 49 this summer)

After a normal day of operating a 360 digger ,am 52y/o , 6ft , 32" waist and 13stone , 18 correct press-ups #X-army

Enjoying your channel, starting my up soon, could you please let me know, which editor suite you use, and why?

Great channel, probably 20 years since i did push ups, iam 62 and got to 13, yeah need to work on that...Thanks

60 years old, just did 32. Could have done a few more maybe. Lol. Haven’t worked out in a while. Need to get back to it.

What a great message. I paused as mentioned, I did 15, could have pushed to 18 at best I think, but I am only 43 so this was a bit of a wake up call.

They die early because they smoke, drink and don't look after themselves. The new generation is changing that. Live fast die fast!

Also do squats im 60 i do 25 squats and 45 pushups in 3 sets of 15 each morning. Important when you ride to have strong legs to.

Will be 53 next month I truly believe in moving and resistance training that will keep you strong and Mobil.

Im 62, "slightly overweight" and did 11 (not very good form) pushups...

This is why I got into the Carnivore way of eating. Never felt better and Im 48. Taking back my health and loving it.

have ridden it around Australia in 2016 with my partner Rosslyn and camping gear.

66 years old here in Nicaragua. Knocked out 22. Still can’t breathe though

great video.. thank God I still exercise 2-3 days per week.. nothing special just stretches, a few pushups and some weight training. At 56 years old I can still do 30 pushups. Could lose a few pounds though.. thanks for the reminder.. I plan on riding my Harley for a very long time...

Oh, and by the way, I crashed many a time and broke some bones, but, this makes you feel ALIVE!

Nice one bro. I love the mix of bikes and health - physical and mental, that you give. 🤜👍

Hi Mate. Great Channel you created. I'm 62 and was able to do 15 pus-ups.

Im 72 and 5'11 and hardly broke 170 . The only thing fat is my 20 y/o Road King

12 on the west Australian pea gravel in the rain But I couldn’t do 3 sets , not yet anyway

I got 9. I'm 68 years old and I know I'm out of shape. When I was in my 30's I could do over 100 but then I got all busted up in a trucking accident. I got lazy. You have reminded me that I have to start working on my physical strength if I am to continue to hold up my electraglide. Living in Pennsylvania, US.

43yrs, 24 pushups. I exercise, but haven't done an honest push up in a while!

That's why I purchased a Triumph. It makes me look younger 😅

I can also stand and put my britches on without falling over . Another good sign . Not too bad for being 64 .

I'm 47 and I do 50 push-ups and 40 leg raises daily. Lay on a table with your legs hanging off. Hold your legs straight out and lift them up and over your head til your butt comes off the table. Knowing Jesus as your Saviour secures Heaven as your HOME when you leave this world!

Also try doing yoga/tai chi type stretches every morning also, stops seizing up muscles etc.

Hi. I'm 54 y.o. I regularly do 20 push ups and 20 sit ups daily.

Interesting video ! I just started recently watching central park Joe channel , he is quite inspirational for over 60

26, could have done a couple more if I wanted to push it but i was out of gas🤣 usa, 42

this is great stuff you are so right its never too late to look after yourself and it doesn't matter what it is i have always walked and cycled and loved the outdoors and lots of motorcycling and riding where i live the roads are that bad its another workout .

New subscriber, an independent Indian Rider in the states. Saw this vid and took it to heart. I am 49 and really out of shape. I tried the challenge... epic fail. I did 3. 30 years back when i signed up for the corps I could easily do 60. I knew I was bad but didn't realize how bad I was. Thank you for this video. A foot in my ass I need. Tomorrow I do 4... wish me luck.

The average age of my group of friends says we last pretty long … somehow 🤔😂.

Inspirational. Nice one. 60 old and 11. I’ve been working on weight loss and blood pressure. Gave up a big job last year (been a leader most of my working career) and blood pressure went from 170/115 to 118/78 in 12 months. Dropped weight, stopped alcohol, meditating and Mediterranean diet, with good sleep and no crap food. Core strength next. Currently working the spin bike daily for 30 minutes of high intensity. Your message is right. I’m feeling better, happier and starting to like people again. 😂 Oh, and most importantly, I’m getting in 2-3 good rides in weekly on my Harley. ‘Felxtirement’ Is a good place to be. 😎

How many push-ups should women be able to do? Are the numbers the same as men??

Movement is Medicine.

Thanks for the video...It inspired me to step up my push up game.

yes you can drop the f-bomb on youtube but you then can't place your video for a minor audience.

I am NOT Fat .... I'm Fluffy "G_Iglesias"

Great video, I’m your age and in health care here in the US and it’s amazing what horrible condition people get themselves into long before they get to our age. They often say “Wait til you get to be my age..” and I always say “I was your age several years ago!” 31 push-ups..

21 , I'm 57 , 08 street bob

I lift weights everyday,,,1 beer at a time !! 🍺 😎 👍
