    @injunjack By the time I started riding,there were no Kickstarters,but I would’ve liked to have experienced it once. On another note…I’ve never seen anyone kickstart a bike on the first try.

      Lol, of course 1700cc is a handful.. most with proper comp are, even with less cc's. Most of my kicksart bikes start with 1st-2nd proper kick. Usually there are 3-6 preliminary kicks to get motor primed with fuel... my e-start bike doesn't usually start with first flick of the starter.

            @Denimhead-0 I feel the same as old guys don't get where they are by repeating the mistakes of our youth...I still do stupid stuff, but now I think twice about doing it 🙂

                  @goosehd I’ve got so much dumb/stupid stuff in the bank that I should be a very wealthy man. Hoping not to make any more deposits,but every now and then I’ll do something,and that voice says you just don’t want to learn do you.

                        Or how’d you ever get to be this old.

                          @goosehd yup! Thinking twice before you do something dumb just makes you feel half as smart when it goes wrong. Lol

                            …thanks for the laughs gentlemen!! To bring this back full circle, I would rather have made those stupid mistakes and say I have lived, then to spend my life saying I wish…

                            My body disagrees with that though… 🙂

                                    Kicked off a new bike trip today, YAAAYYYY!!
                                    If all goes as planned, this one will be a good 27-30 days 8k km.
                                    Heading south towards Argentina and later, Chile.

                                    First real trip on the Guzzi.

                                    The journey is the objective.

                                        Made some progress over the last few days.

                                        Day one: home to Sucre:

                                        This bike is turning out out to be a fine traveler!

                                        Houses used to be built of sun-dried mud blocks around here.

                                        The journey is the objective.
