Howdy folks,

60 year old dude and just got let go from the working world. Not as much money in the bank as the expert say i should have but I'm an eternal optimist so I figure it'll all work out one way or another.

I've spent the last 20 years acquiring and riding, (~100K miles), some bikes I thought would fill all my different styles of riding I'm after. Now that I've got enough (5) and nobody to answer to 5 days a week, it's time to hit the road. I think each of my bikes fill a different desire I have and allows me to take off on just about any kind of trip. I acquired them all used and a couple for free, (the most expensive way).
1) KLR650
2) R1100RS
3) Ninja 250
4) R100/7
5) TW200

I'm a bit apprehensive for a big trip but I've done a dozen overnight camping trips in Colorado, BDR, and up to Yellowstone/Tetons. So I've got all the gear and bikes I need and the only thing left is to load up and ride away from home. I've been listening to a lot of books and podcasts and videos trying to decide which direction to head towards in about 2 months when I'll be past a brief medical procedure us 60 year old guys often encounter.

I look forward to learning from and meeting with other riders and would like to find new riding partners. I'm grateful for HU and I've been living on ADVrider for last 15 years under the same user name.

See you out there,
Mike
