He asked me to see if I could see where the bike was scraping the ground (he could barely walk, much less bend over) as he heard something while cornering (his chicken strips were half the size of mine).
He shows up at the Datil Rally on an new Guzzi V7ii, turns out his last seven bikes have been either a V7 or the Griso - seems to alternate. But figures he may settle down with the V7. He rides all over the west using the stock seat, no windscreen and a small dry bag for his stuff.
He won the oldest rider award this year at 80. Last year the oldest was 92 (died this summer).
That's incredible
Well I guess you can take the boy off the motorcycle but not the motorcycle off the boy errrr or something like that
He makes me look like a piker,
I admit I don't take the long motorcycle trips I used to, but I dream about the long one I use to take mehThis morning in Cleveland TX. it was 56 degrees. I got on my CB1100 and rode out HWY 59 and went to the bank and post office and then took my daughter for a ride, boy was it nice.
Keep scootin
