In 2005, at the age of 61 I decided it was now or never to fulfill my dream of a long distance motorcycle trip. I rode from Jacksonville Fl to Laconia NH, to Hiawasse GA and back to Jacksonville on a 2003 Triumph Bonneville. It was a 3500 mile trip and I had the time of my life.

While a Triumph Bonneville is not a Scamp it does show its never too late to go for the gold. 52!!! Pashaw, you are still a very young man and probably have most of your hair!!

Go for it, you ain't getting any younger and you may not be getting much older either.
