Leslie Harris (New Zealand) is living fast, but he’s not dying young.

Earlier this year, at the age of 97 – three weeks before his 98th birthday – Les raced at the Pukekohe 43rd Classic Motorcycle Festival in Auckland, making him the world’s oldest competitive motorcycle racer.

Les competed alongside his eldest son, Rod, aged 64, and his 21-year-old granddaughter, Olivia.

They all rode in the Regularity race, in which the aim is to perform the most consistent lap times.

What a man, I'd just hope to live that long, and he gets bonus points for a hot granddaughter who rides bikes!

That's awesome! 

97 and still on a bike, let alone a race track.

We should all be so lucky to live such a long, healthy, and happy life.

And his granddaughter's a peach...........

Hip replacement in 2019 kept him from riding…for a few months…!

Fell off the starting roller and broke 6 ribs …

And he’s back for more!
