I'm a late bloomer so to speak. I started riding much later in life than most everyone here.

05 BMW K1200RS make it just around the world. I bought it used and put around 30,000 miles on it.
09 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory - I've made almost three-fourths of a lap with just under 18,000 miles
05 Suzuki DR-Z400S - about half a dirty lap around 13,000 miles
