At 72, I traveled by adventure motorcycle, alone, for 8 days in central Mexico. 

I’m in my early 70s and my wife will be 70 this fall…we’ve ridden extensively in central Mexico and Baja…we’re heading to Australia for her birthday in the fall…we’ll rent two bikes and spend a month riding in the Outback…keep it up as long as you can👍

Thanks, watching you is inspiring. Not because you 72 but because your just being yourself- “wow” and stay safe.

Just keep going. I'm 71 in the summer and will be travelling from the UK through France and several other countries ( about 6 in all ) and down to Albania, then looping round through North Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Czechia, Germany and one or two other countries on the way home. A total of about 3,500 miles and 3 weeks on the road. Looking forward to it. Enjoying watching your stuff. Like you, I'm enjoying my retirement.

In 2009 I did a 3300 mile solo motorcycle trip through Mexico on a Yamaha XT225. Now, at 68 I’m sitting in Oaxaca, Mexico State in a small town for the winter, just chomping at the bit to buy another small duel sport and do it again.

Allende looks treacherous to me. The cobblestones with the polished surfaces in the wet are killers. Does that worry you? Lisbon is like that. With trolley tracks making it worse. I love being in cities. I love riding mountain passes. I love staying in places long enough to meet people, make friends, and keep them after I leave. I took five years of Latin in school so I would pick up a language quickly but never have. I’m old and mentally lazy and everyone outside of the USA speaks English (and two other languages).

I'm 75. Been thinking about riding my r850 bmw down to Mexico. Glad I watched this video. I've been binging on watching Aussies do the outback. I'm too old for that. I think I can do slow and steady through Mexico. Cheers!! Or I should say, Salutos!!

I am 70 and going for my motorcycle licence. You sir, are an inspiration just like Itchy boots

Charley Sinewan also traveled through some similar tracks in central mexico. Maybe next time you will visit Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosí, a mining town.

You're living the dream my friend, and my nearest parallel is my trip last October on my humble Himalayan across to northern Spain. Completely on my own for 3,000k in two weeks. Not really a loner, but there's definitely advantages to travelling alone. I'm 70 in two months, so there's plenty of years yet. Cheers Bruce, you're inspirational. 😎

This is encouraging, keep it up as long as you can! My Dad was forced to get a Rt shoulder replaced at 83, he wound up getting it done twice. Now at 84 he ran a chainsaw with it last week! Once a Marine, always a Marine!

I’m so jealous of the motorcycle traveling in Mexico… peace and safe travels

Can't Walt, I'm leaving Feb. For my first solo moto tour... at 54, I'm thrilled and inspired my you

There no such thing as too much fun when you’re in Mexico drinking tequilas shut and listening a mariachi band 🍻

Just saw this...you're an inspiration! I just retired 2 weeks ago and am about your age. I generally travel alone as well, but have had some concerns regarding Mexico; maybe not so much now. The video was quite good as well. Keep it up!

Awesome Que valiente eres

I absolutely did enjoy your video. Scenic, diverse, exciting and wonderfully shown throughout the drop. Thank you for sharing!

I really enjoyed what you shared with us, Looks like you are having a good time, enjoying the city's and countryside and that is what it is all about. I have been close with many Mexican people all my life. I can say this, Mexican Men are hard workers, they love their families, their children and their wives are always very happy, and loving especially to their neighbors and children. that says a lot. You can expect to party a lot with them and enjoy ample hospitality. You will learn that for the most part they are respectful people who want to enjoy life as much as you do. so enjoyed the church photos, inside and out. and seeing the towns, and riding along with you. I also like the music and drone footage. Thanks so much for taking us along on your adventure. I would use your name, but i do not know it. Have wonderful adventures, look forward to more of your posts.

Hi, Senior rider ! I really enjoyed your riding scenes in the central Mexico; Nostalgic villages and historic towns with heartwarming music are all amazing, and your talks are sweet. I am going to be 79 in a week but am willing to go riding on my old Vulcan 400 from Kagoshima, where I live, to Hokkaido and return in two years. Your channel encourages me, hoping no serious accident on you and wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Incredible trip. Living the dream. You have officially relegated my short moto-twiddles around Nor Cal to the piker class. Enjoyed the drone work. Loved the guitar.

Got back into riding at 71. Planning on riding across PA this Summer at 73. Philly to West of Pittsburgh. Planning my off highway trip now. Doing it on a Sportster. I love reading about all of the 70+ yr olds still riding. I will probably film this adventure as best as I can. Peace and blessings to all.

great Video I would hope to be able to do Mexico , I'm in your age group and have fun enjoy life . I still ride and hope to do a lot of it this year . Ride on my friend .

Good on brother!! Keep following your heart. It will lead you to where you need to be. Thanks for sharing the stoke of Mexico. Saludos from Baja Mexico.

Great vid….I rode that same region 3 years ago and Mexico City to Puebla to Oaxaca 2 years ago and Monterrey Mountain region (northern MX) last year…..so many wonderful places and memories n Mexico. My Goodness!

Ay YEN day

I can definatley relate. I'm also 72. In 2010 I took a solo ride to Newfoundland from my home near Ottawa Ontario. Approx.4300 km (2700 mi). My 1st day was 1100km (700mi) It was a fantastic although my daughter was very concerned & made me promise to keep in touch daily. Unfortunately my trip was cut short due to a Hurricane heading towards Newfoundland so I made a hasty retreat. I still have dreams of doing it again.

A great adventure. I admire your courage, including learning more and more of another language! Nice.

Very nice video and inspiring too. I look forward to seeing your other motorcycle Mexico videos. Great content as always...stay safe!

Guau! Gringo viejo. Tu sí que sabes andar en moto y viajar. Te felicito y te deseo buena suerte en todos tus viajes. Me gustan t us videos y tu estilo.Wow! old gringo. You really know how to ride a motorcycle and travel. I congratulate you and wish you good luck in all your travels. I like your videos and your style.

you the man sir!

What a fine and inspiring adventure! I have so many questions. I hope some will be answered in your other videos, but here's a couple to start: (1) What, if anything, did you need to do to secure the bike and gear at stops during the day and overnight? (2) Did you set up hotels in advance or on the fly as you arrived in towns? (3) How well did smartphone GPS work for you in the mountains and did you also have paper maps? Thanks for this content. I hope to follow you down there soon. I'm 64, but still working so have to find vacation time.

Very nice

Beautiful trip, you are very inspiring! I'll be 64 this month and have only been riding 5 years. I love riding solo and will be riding from Colorado (which is home) to Big Bend in June. I look forward to seeing more Mexico footage!

This was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you very much! I have thought about riding my R1200GS to Mexico as I live in Southern Cali. Also enjoyed those high flying shots of the buildings and terrain.

Mexico 🇲🇽 is a beautiful country and great people. I'm currently in Playa del Carmen and surrounding area for the last 2 weeks, sadly we are heading back to Washington State tomorrow. Time to start planning the next trip 👍

Great teaser. I will certainly look out for your adventure.

That's a bucket lister for sure, Bruce, Bendiciones!

Enjoyed your video as I'm also planning a road trip through Mexico later this year.

Wow, what a unexpected surprise; I know the guy you rented the bike from. Randy K is a good friend we used to ride/race motorcycles with him here in NorCal. I knew he moved to Mexico with his wife and keep up with him on Facebook. Looking forward to watching some of your adventures. I have family in central and western Oregon and hoping to ride some the BDR loops up that way...

Love your trip! it's on my bucket list too.

Beautiful music selection: flamenco - banjo - Mariachi - flamenco! Looks like you had a memorable trip and looking forward to the full episodes. Bike was a F650GS?

4:08 That would be the mexican independence, the revolution was in 1900´s, by the way you have an awesome channel, new subscriber ! :)

Travel safe and enjoy the beautiful bike life

Didn't see a Mexican, diversion coming, but hey, another great video! Cheers, Bruce, and ride safe!

Enjoyde watching your v blog.nice scenery on your travels.you sound like a very relaxed chap.

Good video! Looking forward to seeing more. 😀👍

Enjoyed your video ..keep it up.I still ride and we're the same age!

Great stuff and very enjoyable watch.

Great video. Very inspiring. Question(s) for you - how did you locate a local enthusiast? And how did you figure out he would rent and that he is reliable?

Great video! I look forward to the detailed videos.

Great trip. Love your channel. What did you think of the 650GS compared to your 700 Tenere? I am in New Zealand and am thinking of getting one. Might get back into riding after 25 or so years.

I ride 20,000 km on my Yamaha T7 alone every year 3-5 months in Europe and Africa. I’m 76 11/12ths. I live in Sarasota, FL. I want to go south now but have been afraid. I’d like to talk with you. Pls reply if you are willing.

Nice video! Have you considered riding your own motorcycle to Mexico?

🙏👍

You're really good at getting those drone shots. Did you have any issues flying down in Mexico?

Good evening sir , please can you let me know what gears you are using , 17 @71,

They probably thought you were El Chappo ‘s grandad & told the local cartel hombres ,to make you welcome & not relieve you of all your Gringo dollars ,when paying the señoras for the tasty tortillas .😎

Why make a big song n dance out of your age? Just enjoy your bike and the adventure rides. Upload the videos to tell us how it went…..age it’s just a number….
