By your early 90s there's a decent chance someone will be taking care of and bathing you. I've known many people in their 90s and if any of them were to have died in a motorcycle crash it would be from a motorcycle crashing into their wheelchairs or some such thing.
Personally, I was always a fan of Bill Baillie and would like to go the way he did; have dinner with my family, go to sleep and be done.
I have two grandparents on opposite sides that are in their 90s and live unassisted. One still runs. Both of the could ride a motorcycle.
Good for them both. But they are far outside the norm so if I have to predict the OP's life in his early 90s, I'm going with being cared for and bathed.

Umm, ever hear of genetics?

At 85 just `finished` on top of my gorgeous wife. LoL
Just hope to live long enuff to see the overthrow of ZOG.
Sky diving on my 100th birthday

No. Never. could you explain it to me and tell me how what it has to do with observing that most people I've known who live into their nineties need some level of care and the ones who don't are a distinct minority?
Ok, which minorities are more likely to live into their 90's?

My plan is to wait until I'm having trouble taking care of myself, pack a backpack, and go for a hike until I'm dead. Ideally this will be around age 75-80.
This has been my plan as well.

Vulcans.
If I start shatting myself I think there will be an "accidental" gas leak that leads to a peaceful drunken carbon monoxide death.
I have to get to 70 + 3 months to beat out my Brother.
If I go another 4 years and 10 months I'll have it.
I picture myself in bed, with the dog sitting there like we're on a hammock.
Youtube music videos playing and people drinking wine.
My favorite times.
This couple got it right:

Death party, complete with meth and sex

In my own keep, drinking my own wine, watching my sons grovel for my fortune.

That's cool and all but why the need to pack a backpack? If you take water, food clothes you'll just prolong the whole process. Do it right.

I don’t think the reality would be as romantic as you have made it inside your head.
Possibly if you did it when it’s really cold out so you freeze to death. But how selfish and silly.

Longer than that dude. Vulcans can live to be 200 yrs of age! Spock was about 100 in the original series; considered middle-age. ?

Exactly. So living into their 90s is child's play thus making them the minority most likely to live into their 90s. It doesn't mean they won't last a lot longer.
I heard a funny line once:
I want to die blissfully and in peace in his sleep like my grandfather did, not screaming in agony like his passengers.
