How do I enjoy riding in my 40s?

If anyone wants to get into motorcycling in their 40's, first and foremost fix your core. When comfortable, the issues like dust, heat etc don't feel as bad as they will

BHPian bblost recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 and drive a Verna DCT.

The bike is extremely low tech and does not even have an ABS in it. My car is loaded with all kinds of technology and comfort. I use my car for my family trips.

My bike is for my heart and soul. My entire life revolves around my bike. At 46 years of age and a body weight that is around a 100, I pay a lot of attention to my core strength.

My gym includes lifting heavy and exercises like pull ups. Unless or until your body is extremely well taken care of, riding a bike over multiple days on our unforgiving roads will never ever be comfortable.

Even the smallest issue will get amplified and create pain. Once that happens, there is nothing that can help. If anyone wants to get into motorcycling in their 40's, first and foremost fix your core. When comfortable, the issues like dust, heat etc don't feel as bad as they will.
