Some of my readers may have seen this video. It was sent to me by Greg who has followed my blog for a while and it is so good, I wanted to share it.
My hope is that everyone who rides feels like this one day....

About Me
- Gary France
- Having devoted most of my adult life to being a ‘company man’, the transition to the next phase of my life away from the construction industry was always going to include some challenges. Planning and then making my dream trip to explore America on my Harley-Davidson proved to be the ideal vehicle for clearing my mind of old ways of thinking and being. I rode 21,475 miles, in 27 US states in four-and-a-half months. My motorcycling trips have continued, with journeys across much of Europe, New Zealand, North Africa and Cuba. A few years ago, I set up and now run Tour1, which takes riders on Harley-Davidson Authorised tours across Europe. See www.tour1.co.uk. I live just north of London in the UK.

My H-D Road King, 'The Leading Ladies'
A 2006 Road King called 'The Leading Ladies' due to the portraits of ten 1940's and 1950's actresses painted on the bike. This is the motorcycle I use to ride through America on.
My Custom Harley 'Tradewinds'
Called 'Tradewinds' this bike has a H-D engine but almost everything else is custom, made specifically for the bike.
My Custom Harley 'Amelia'

have you seen the Indian Royal Enfield advert similar in some ways

Yep... just a few more years! lol!
It's like watching a little mini-movie. I think they produced a winner with this one.
That is a WOW video. Maybe, training wheels will be in order by then, but how great to ride to the beach for a sunset filled with memories at 81.
Just added to the bucket list.
This is a great video, makes me smile whenever I see it. Here's hoping we all see 81 with as much life as they still have in them.
Love it Gary!
deeply impressed by this video. I think that everyone should to take a page out of their's book. They are completely devoted to motorcycling. Respect!
Ian – I can just picture us two old farts trying to remember where we put the keys to our old customs bikes before trying to go out for a ride! The Royal Enfield video is a little similar.
Lady R – I agree, just like a mini movie – fantastic!
AHD – If I am still on this planet at 81, I’d love to try ride a bike to the beach then.
Canajun – If I have half the spirit they have at that age, I will have a smile on my face!
Eve – Me too.
Sid – That is so right about taking a leaf. Everyone should still have a dream, at whatever age.
