Lois rode her Yamaha Serow from Alaska to the Southern tip of South America.
The Serow is a 2500cc motorcycle, but her top speed was 50mph.

Hey old...

We can still do this kind of stuff. We have the money, finding the time is the problem now. I traveled extensively in my 20s, and look forward to doing more in my 50s and 60s. I still like to camp and would do a megascooter tour in a heart beat. I'm liking the idea of Canada myself!

Regards -
