Amazing to think that after a few short years they were riding around in post war Europe.

The bit about the Dad flogging the Duc out to 160mph while in his 70s is great!

Awesome Stuff

Amazing capture of what it means (and meant) to ride a motorcycle! riding in the mountains, sharing good times with friends, a new adventure every day! What a treat to see on a cold winter day. Thanks for sharing.

Typo or "merican math still using Imperial (British) or I can't do Canadian Math that uses Metric (rest of the world) 'cause I'm gonna be 59 soon enough and I was born at the beginning of the age of Peace and Love, which was '61?

Maybe I'm gonna go with "merican math. I should feel younger!
