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.

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

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 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!

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

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.

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💯🦾🔥🏍

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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...

I did six pushups against the kitchen counter. The floor is out right now. It's encouraging to hear you say many of the things I believe are true. Some fine RU-vid doctors target the problem of sugar dependent snacker. And carbs are the next big enemy. Yes, awareness is the key to establish a balanced hatred for fake food. Good work! Keep it going! So 6 push ups is a start. I'll do it every day.

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.

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.

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..

Hi mate, Dave here... I'm 67 yrs old, been riding bikes since I was 17 yrs old, currently riding a Softail Slim S with the 110 Screaming Eagle engine (love it)... just watching your video, had a go at your push up challenge (stopped the video straight away and got down to it)... did 18 push ups, last one was struggling a bit. I used to be able to do 30 odd straight off when I was in my 50's, so I think I need a little practice... Your videos hit the mark I have to say and I enjoy watching them.

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 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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

64 years old, 40 push ups. Thanks for discussing this topic.

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

Nice one mate. Saw you at Micks 60th the other night, wasn't sure it was you - its been a few years. He put me on to your channel. Really enjoyable and great info. well done. (john harper)

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!!!!

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.

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

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💪. 🏍💨🔥…🇨🇦✌️😎

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.

New to the channel.. great video.. Good conversation. LOL you actually managed to get me up out my chair, and managed 11 pushups.. But you are right, we got to keep moving. walking and hiking a bit everyday is helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Great advice. I’m a bit on the young side and love riding my bike, but I know I’m out of shape and this is a good inspiration to get back into it to keep riding even when I get older. 🏍👍

Well ya got me! LOL I will be 70 this month...just did your challenge and did 30 pushups....full up and down to the floor with my chin and straight up...the 30th pushup was admittedly lame. All that being said, your comments have pointed out to me a concern for increasing decline and thanks to you and this video I am rethinking things! During an illness in early 2020 (my doc thinks it was covid) and all the covid lock downs I have been much less active ... two a half years ago I could do 65 pushups in a minute...so the reality is 30 now may seem good but it is all relative ...this a wakeup call as statistically I have lost over 50% in at short period of time. I bought a Softail Harley this summer...haven't ridden in almost 50 years and am loving my return to riding a motorcycle ..but like you want to ride if forever..or close to it. Now I'll go watch the rest of your video...after which i will then get off my duff and go for a hike! Thanks for the reality check!!

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

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...

Again great stuff and a relaxed delivery that we can take on board

Spot on! I am 63 and am getting back active why I got a motorcycle again to get out and about beyond sitting all day at a computer for work. Also got back into marshal arts after a 20 year life happened. I have a Hell Cat as well, so a bit of a need for adventure ;) I also do car shows with the Hell Kitten over the summer and that is a lot of cleaning. Last Monday I did 25 push-ups so a long way to 40 LOL! Well done again! Not sure how many women need to do in terms of push-ups.

Enjoyed the video! Something I've seen help people increase their push-up count is by just doing a few every time a commercial comes on when they're watching the television. Take care and be safe out there!

Hi I have just turned 70 and I did your challenge completing 11 push ups . It was not ezy and I may not be able to lift my coffee tomorrow morning but I am going to give it a go to do 11every morning from now on . I have been riding for 53 years and the last 29 years a Harley , currently a 2017 Road King . Thanks for the motivation.

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

65 YO, 37 push-ups, love your channel

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

I’m 62, watch my diet, still do my martial arts twice a week, love my push ups and sit ups,walk heaps and happily ride my 21 low rider, been riding since I was 6, hope to ride for a long time to come.

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

Thanks for reminding us oldies .😊

At 69 been riding since I was 16...the last 4 years been riding a Kawasaki Zed 900. Just got my 1st NEW Harley 23rd march 2023. shes a 2023 softtail standard. Started working out at 18 never stopped, these days I cross-country ski, shoot black powder and a compound bow and ride a tri-athalon bicycle, plus daily workouts... all my life folks told you should stop you are to old... just made me do more and I told them it was my health insurance. Great channel and wise advice, Sir 👍👍👍

I've been aware of my poor fitness, and ashamed of it a bit, so I tend to not think I can change it. I just paused the video and barely did 10. Thanks to you, I'm motivated to do something about it. I'll see if I can add 2 a day until I get to maybe 3 sets of 15? I'm 46, 6'1", 255 lbs, and not very strong. I sit at a desk for work, I work from home, and ride a motorcycle in my downtime, which is not physically challenging, for the most part. I've got some work to do. Thank you for taking the time to remind us!

I love this channel, As a bloke who loves being a power ranger (50) sugar drinks, coffee with loads of milk will load the fat. I love a beer, I’ve given them up for months and certainly lost a few kg’s whilst doing so. It was when I went long blk coffee that bought me into Grant Kenny body of my youth . Thanks champ

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.

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

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.

You always make amazing, fun, informative and inspiring videos, thank you for all you us riders, Aloha , Kenneth 🤙🏽

Great advise! It’s sad that people just don’t get it we was made to do not sit and rot away, some of us will never have the time to do all that we want others are sitting around waiting to die. I just had a total knee replacement so I can stand to go at it like have always done and at 64 I don’t plan on slowing down! Life was given to live not waste. I love the title of your channel my daughter is a nurse she tells me better to be old not cold!

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

Hi Aymen, and G’day from sunny Spain. Watched this last night. I’ve got to say, it was inspiring stuff. So much so that I got down and gave you…..11 this morning. But hey, it’s early days and I have been having issues with energy levels lately. I’m hoping some B complex supplements will help with that. Love the content, keep it coming.

Great Video brother. Love your channel... You and the Bogan are representing Australia pretty damn good😎👊

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

64 knuckle push ups (kento). I am 41, based on BMI I am overweight too, even though my dodyfat is around 12.5-14% based on the last dexa scan... live hard, ride easy! Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

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)

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....

Enjoyed the video. Truth! New sub.

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 !!

AM 73 NOW BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES SINCE 13

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.

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

I just inherited my dad's Harley after he passed away in February, from a heart attack. He is exactly who you are talking about.

I’m 40 and I’m at the gym listening. So I’m not about to add push-ups today. Solid idea and a great thing to spread awareness about.

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 ,

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

Hahaha... I'll be 61 this May 1st. 2024 I did 10. Guess I've got some practice to do to get to 61 push-ups on my birthday. Love the channel! Keep up th good work.

This is a great topic and I think every Harley rider in the United States should view this video. This will help give me incentive to exercise more too.

I am 66 and recently purchased my second HD. I pressed that pause button as you suggested and did 25 push ups. Riding and eating a good steak and cheese pie is part of my routine 😁👍🤘

Great video, keep it up

that's a great challenge , i myself can do it with no problem. I put Thousands of miles on my bikes every year more than fit to do so.. great video and topic 👍

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 .

I'm 66, 20 - all chest to ground and full arm extension. Part of my routine, plus 30 sit-ups, 20 squats and sometimes 50 reps on the rowing machine. Hope to hold the health demons off for a few more years.

Good stuff, I just did 40. Couldn't do 41 though. LOL! I just turned 50 yrs this month. You're right though about keep moving. I'm a superintendent in commercial construction which allows me to move around daily. I want to keep riding the Road Glide Special. Cheers!

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 will turn 67 in 3 weeks and I have kidney disease but, I still ride my Harley. Mine is a 2013 XL1200CP bought brand new in 2013 and this bike is just right for my size. I am not a big guy (145 pounds & 5' 10" tall) and I know my limitations. It is very comfy with the upgraded suspension (Progressive front & rear) and the Mustang saddle seat. All the upgrades I have done makes this my ultimate ride. Being a 1200, it is the biggest bike I have ever owned. I had a 750 before this. I can ride for 200 miles with no problem before my kidneys tell me to rest. I did park it for 3 years and almost sold it but, I am glad I didn't. Bike has almost 23,000 miles on it now. I plan on riding as long as I can!

Ok I just did 12 I'm 66 and haven't done much in the realm of push ups since my second wreck, came out of that with 3 crushed vertebrae, broken hip, and femur. Back in 2005 I was doing 1250 a night 10 sets of 125. Thanks for the motivational.video, it's on.

I’m an Aussie moto content creator and had no idea about your channel… came across on Kraken’s recommendation! 😉✌️🤙🇦🇺

Entertaining vid with an important message. Onya mate.

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.

I did 13 I'm 49 and way out of shape great video

Great videos keep it going

I’m definitely not fit or in shape. Last time I did a push up was in the U.S. Airforce. I can get 10 push ups barely. I have started walking and shooting for 8-10k steps a day and be more active that way. I’ll add in doing push ups when I wake up and go to bed now as well.

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

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

I'm 64 this Saturday. I weigh 165 lbs. - 75 kg. By the grace of God I made 11. I will set a goal to do this everyday for a year and see where I end up. Thnx as always.

Love your videos

I'm 58, ride a 92 Heritage Classic and just kicked out 40 pushups and 7 pull ups. I kind of figured I could do the pushups but was a bit shocked that I was only able to put up 7 pull ups. That's hard.

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.

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.
