I took up motorcycle riding when I was 62 years old, now almost 7 years ago. I'm not very good at it; too cautious of mind and weak of muscle. But, I like taking a bit of a risk and feeling the speed and challenge of it.
I have now ridden about 70,000 miles on motorcycles. Some in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, and in a few months Africa. Haven't yet thought much about Asia, but maybe one day.
Latin America involved a lot of off road; I'm better on the road! But, it was fun and I live to tell about. But, I haven't told about it much. I've got thousands of pictures. Nt great photography, but they remind of when I was where and how it felt and what was happening. Not many people have seen even a few of them.
I'm thinking I should try to blog and post pictures next time -- Africa.
I'm planning to start in South Africa, then Namibia, Botswana (I hope I get to meet The First Lady Detective), Mozambique, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, and then.... Maybe Libya and Tunisia before crossing into Europe. We'll see. And, we'll see if this blog ever amounts to anything....
