In 1957 I rode a BSA Golden Flash to Boston and back with not a niggle from that British Iron - which was quite new then - and so was I at age 19 
I sold the BSA the next year and bought an old Ford car. It would be 34 years before I owned another motorcycle. Marriage, mortgage and career occupied all those years.
I came back to bikes in 1992 and probably my greatest adventure on a bike was in 2008 when a friend and I flew to Chile and joined a three-week tour that rode across the Atacama Desert, up and down the Andes Mountains, and up into Peru. I was a spritely 70 at the time.
In 2010 another friend and I flew to British Columbia and spent 12 days riding through the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Most of my other riding is/was around the northeast; newfoundland, new England, etc.
As I approach age 81 I never felt better and am blessed with good health, strength and stamina - and loving my CB1100!
