You are so right, I remeber when I was young, a person in the age of 40 to 50 was so unbelivable old, and now from my view 50 is young! But I dont feel old, for me I am like 40…
Anyhow, I will ride as long as possible. And this long ride will take 6 month.

Also thank you for the Informaion from itchy boots, I allready know here, she is so great. She travel for so many years, thats for shure not always easy. Hope she will continue for a long time, hope she will not be insured or something like that.

There are a lot of “adged riders” on Youtube, so I think, you and me can continue for years. Maybe we should not do the hard think. Riding is such an unbelivable thing, from my sie of view it does not mater where you go, just do it!

Best regards from Austria,
Udo

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and plans here. It is always good to hear what other riders are doing.

From where I sit now at almost 70 62 seems positively young. Itchy Boots (on YouTube) did that long ride from Ushuaia to Alaska. She had to take a break in Peru because of the pandemic but she went back and finished. It is worth watching that season if you are considering such a ride.

I plan to ride as long as I can safely manage myself and the machine. Who knows how long that will be….

Thanks Steve. Riding and photography have been a good mix for me. And I’m glad that I can add some other photographic diversions to the mix.

The Fuji X100F is an amazing camera. One of the images in the folio was made with it — the stump along the creek.

Motorbikes and cameras make a lovely cocktail and a libation I have enjoyed for years. I too have a X100F, a perfect blend of old and new and not unlike the Vespa experience I am sure. Grand to hear from you again.
