“I'm turning 67 in a couple weeks.”
That is too young to start backing off.
I am 81 and just sold my Suzuki Bandit. Last long ride was at age 74, when I did a 5000 mile round trip to Florida from Southern Arizona. Then the last trip was to Denver not too long after I was diagnosed with CHF in 2019.
After 67 there are lots of miles left in that old body and the Fat Bob. Maybe even an IronButt ride.

I have a garage full of nearly new bikes that haven't been ridden as much as I would like since returning to Pocatello from San Diego. I racked up 1300 miles per month in San Diego. I doubt that I have racked up 1300 miles total since October 2014. I recently acquired a use DR650SE (2015) with 11,000 miles on the odometer. I ordered and installed a Supermoto wheel set from Warp9 racing. 17 inch wheels front and rear with tubeless GPR street tires. Much better fit for my 30" inseam. A different odometer drive and shorter kickstand finished the conversion. The street tires are a better fit for my use case. Offroad adventure travel is pretty much off my list at this point.
