After saying that, I would like to travel the States before I hang my boot's up. On my own or with someone, I have no idea.
I did try a few year's back posting along the line's of a bike swop. Get over the problem of a bike hire or getting mine over there and back. The same with someone from the States. The best of all possibilities would be. Some one who want to tour for say two three month. Fly over use one of my bike's and all the kit. I'll travel with them round Europe. And they do the same for me. Kind of like a buddy system. Any way that's wish full thinking.

both my parents are in their mid 70s. 10 years ago my dad made his first road trip out of Europe when we both drove to the Gambia, It was a relatively safe introduction being part of an (semi) organised group as the Plymouth Dakar challenge.
Last year, now in their 70s, my folks drove to Poland, where we met up with them before driving on with us to Belarus, no mean feat at 73. Hopefully, this September, me and my dad will be going with some other like minded individuals to tour around the off road areas of Romania.
Maybe something like that would be a good intro to the rest of the world, some kind of tour. There's lots of organised type events available, and there are lots of folks on here you could probably tag on with.
