That Goldwing ride is impressive.

And then there's Emilio Scotto's [url=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-longest-ride-emilio-scotto/1113804064]"The Longest Ride: My Ten-Year 500,000 Mile Motorcycle Journey" on a Goldwing. I read that book, fun!

[url=https://ridermagazine.com/2004/08/17/emilio-scottos-epic-motorcycle-journey-around-the-world/]An article on the same
1978 round trip moped journey from Toronto? I didn't know that.

... what we do.
Your touring steed will change as you age. I rode around Lake Superior on a '71 Bonneville, in '71. But I was 21 yrs old at the time. Today I would prefer my BMW R1100RT.
A couple years ago, a friend went on a Route 66 trip from Chicago to L.A. that was comprised mostly of Honda Groms and Yamaha Zuma 125s, (although my friend cheated with an XL600). And I remember groups of Honda Helixes (250 scooters) going cross-country. If it has 2 wheels, it's a touring bike. Here's where the Grom/Zuma ride was organized.

Crap - that must have been a hoot to enjoy!!!

Think of all the time to take-in what this great marble still has to offer without whizzing by at 100+ km/h (~60+ mph).
