Riding into the 70's

[cooldrum_imp]

I just turned 69 and have been riding since I was 17. I still ride my first bike a '67 Honda 305 scrambler. I have kept that bike all these years as a reminder of where and when I started riding. Raising a family of 3 kids with my wife and careers, bikes were mostly parked but never forgotten. As the kids left home there was more time to ride and add more bikes to the garage. There's a '74 CB750 and a '74 Yamaha RD350. The 2013 CB1100 I found in Scottsdale, AZ. and rode it home to Portland, Oregon. It still feels good to throw a leg over the saddle and I ride with a group of retired guys here. We ride a lot of backroads and some super slab. We encourage each other on riding techniques and always talk safety. One guy in our group will be riding the "Continental Divide" on his KTM. Our motto is "If not now, when." We'll all keep on riding till it's time to move on.
