We are older riders....
David is about to turn 60 and is riding a Honda Shadow 600 cruiser. I am only a couple of years younger and I am riding the same sort of bike. In 2000-2001 we rode from Australia to France, spending 16 months on the road. This trip we have the same bikes....they are a bit older but so are we....and we left home in August 2004. At present in England but only for a few more weeks as we organise to ship to the next stage og our journey...Florida. This trip we rode from Aus again but using a different route...even in the countries where we had been on the previous trip we went a different way. We have a good pillow each, use our own bedding in gueshouses, often camping in our tent and also have the luxury of sheepskin bike seat covers. We are on a tight budget and it would be nicer if we had more money but so far our bodies are coping okay. If your back hurts too much you can always take something..............
Not sure we would have had the staying power to do this if we were younger.
