As long as external or internal change are not too great such as serious health or financial problems, most people will make necessary adjustments to minimize changes in their personal lifestyle and self concept.
The life long riders were more likely to have reported that they had a family member, relative or neighbor who had a motorcycle than the riders who took a long break or started later in life.
Although the life long riders have been involved in motorcycling for most of their adult life, most of them have had brief periods of up to a few years when they didn't have a bike, or their riding was severely curtailed.

 Long Distance Riders
As I write, a few hundred riders are making their way from Missoula, Montana to Needles, Arizona on the first leg of the Iron Butt Rally, a bi-annual endurance run that typically takes riders around the four corners of the contiguous United States, 11,000 miles in 11 days.
A rider would typically have a GPS, CB radio, cell phone, real time whether device, various clocks and timers, thermometer, radar detector, AM/FM radio and CD player and an Autocom system to tie together all the audio interfaces into a headset in the rider’s helmet.
Some are diabetic, others have rare disorders like Puget Sound rider Rachel Dwyer who suffers from two disorders – one that causes her body temperature to chill down sooner than normal, and another that affects her body clock - causing her senses to go into sleep mode by 10 pm every single day.

 DVD: The Long Riders [1980]
By far the best of his Western work, The Long Riders tells the tale of the James/Younger legacy, a slice of history that has been adapted for the silver screen on countless occasions.
Although Long Riders may not hold the masterpiece status of such often-touted westerns as The Wild Bunch, Unforgiven or even Dances with Wolves, it's still a five star movie.
But The Long Riders is a Walter Hill film, so it's ingenious (four sets of real-life brothers), it's stylish (those neat dusters)...

 DVD.net : The Long Riders - DVD Review
The Long Riders is set in Missouri, following the defeat of the South to the superior military might of the Northern Union in the American Civil War, and focuses on the almost mythological exploits of the James-Younger gang.
The major distinction of The Long Riders lies not with its similarities to Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, but in its inspired casting of the Keach, Carradine, Quaid and the Guest brothers as the members of the renegade James-Younger gang.
Considered by many to be nothing more than an innovative gimmick at the time of its release, the casting decision adds to the film’s sense of authenticity, making it far more easier for the audience to believe the emotive connection between the brothers and further understand their agendas.

Hogwash, says a Kentucky organization, the Long Riders' Guild, which maintains that, in response to a request by the History Channel, it conducted a yearlong investigation involving 60 academics, researchers, librarians, and authors and found that few of Hopkins's claims can be verified, including the competition that's the centerpiece of "Hidalgo."
Some months later, however, she was contacted by the Long Riders' Guild and asked to verify that Hopkins had been part of the show.
Riders would meet in a barn at dawn, pay a fee, be handed a map, and then they'd take off.

The Long Riders features one of the most notable casting gimmicks in the history of the cinema.
The Long Riders does not feature any Oscar¨-worthy standout performances but, with only a few sporadic exceptions, the work done by the actors here is more than competent.
Many of the historically misleading elements of The Long Rider result not from intentional historical "liberties" (an activity that Hollywood is notorious for), but from Hill's attempt to cover such a wide breadth of events in 100 minutes of run time.
