My dad carried on riding bikes until he was 87 and then decided he was getting a bit old for bikes and bought himself a sports car.


Awesome find!

That's great stuff right there.
Gotta love the 50's... 2000 miles covered and at least half of it they were wearing ties.

Pretty cool how people took pics of just their bikes and the scenery sometimes. I hope our kids still have copies of all of our digital pics of motorcycle trips. One of the cool things about photo albums is that they're always around, unless there's a fire or flood. I doubt facebook pages, flickr and the like will still be around for our great grandkids to look through the pics.
