Can This 95 Y/O Motorcycle Make It 3,800 Miles Coast-To-Coast? 

I’m 78 and I respectfully disagree. Nothing but a great time each day a few hundred miles in the wind. Back up crews, motel beds, cooked meals. Nice party. A leisurely vacation on a motorcycle. Couldn’t think of a better 2-3 week vacation. Cry about a little sore ass. Oh well

You must not ride much.

@@dawnmathis2659 At the moment no, due to illness, but i have ridden all over Europe on my little Guzzi, ( 38HP)right around Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland and lots of Germany, plus the UK, often through the night to arrive someplace, however our roads are not wide and smooth like yours, they are narrow, and many have a 2 thousand metre drop, nor are their food parties and stuff awaiting, and often the weather is vile, snowing and heavy rain, I have covered 500 mile sin one day, but I felt it, 300 is a reasonable distance, now on your straight roads, I would pick a Yamaha Fjr and use the throttle and cover 600 to 700 a day with ease

You must just go from your house to Grandma's house. A cross-country ride on a Honda 1800 goldwing a piece of cake.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I left San Diego California for Daytona Florida on December 31. I had 5 days till first day of School at A.M.I.below freezing crawling in weekend R.V. traffic almost quit due to Painful cold brand new leather Gauntlets with hollowfil insulation waterproofing & seamsealed but I remembered my gortex mittens so ok.warm sunny had dinner at McDonald's in The desert was raining and 18 22 degrees until Beaumont Texas where my Kz 750 lost Spark 3 guys in El Camino stopped I had five bags and left my bike at the barb wire Fence lucky for me they insisted I put the bike in the Back and they dropped me off At a motorcycle junk yard it was closed and Friday after five . Nothing to eat or drink Till Monday the owner sold me a cdi box soldered my coil Wire and threw n a side cover For $80 and put 50# fishing line on both side covers. I kept at 80mph (except for crawling out of my San Diego ) got a speeding ticket in New Mexico once I hit the Pan handle I opened it up and Did 140 except when I saw cops which was maybe a half a dozen times always two or three units stopped and ticketing cars I passed everything except for one Sport bike as I was nearing Jacksonville and he must have been doing close to 180 Or 190 my after market gauges were right on the money I had found out in New Mexico. After Jacksonville I did the speed limit and got to School in time took the motorcycle mechanic course, Then the Harley Davidson course volunteered to be a Corner Marshall for the 50th Daytona 200. That was the first time a v twin won since The four cylinder Japanese bikes started racing there it wasn't a Harley but Doug Poulen #23 on a Fast by Farachi Ducati (please excuse If I misspelled anyone's name) And he not only won but set a Track record. I worked the corner to the right of the stands. On the Saturday before The 50th 200 a bike went down the rider was unconscious I had a little trouble getting him off the track - his arm was up to His shoulder between his rear Fender and wheel the clutch was inoperable the shifter bent and jammed we were right in the middle of the track I didn't want to red flag and I told my helper not to indicate What side of the track the bikes were coming out from the haybales at 90 mph some Went to the right of us and some went to the left of us. The first thing I did was check If the rider was breathing and A beautiful nurse was right there before I could check for A pulse . The next day the Sunday paper had a front page photo of just the bike And rider. Two weeks later I was on my way back home, I was fourth in my standing by Two hundred of a point when you train to be a Corner Marshall, down at Moroso and You work the races your grades go down but it was fun!

@@maurice-py6vj Great story!!! Thanks. Reminds of my loner rides all over 60-80’s sleeping and fixing under the stars

Thanks for watching! Be sure to subscribe.

Yeah, I have an old British Army motorcycle which I ride around the neighborhood; with those Lucas electronics I feel lucky if I make it home.

Are you asking about the museum? If they have other makes? They have tons different ones. All American made and they all run!!
