67 now and been riding since 8 years old with my first mini bike and still riding. Only thing that I've always wanted to do was to ride cross country. Getting married put my dreams off, then children (best thing that happened to me) but seemed I never had time. Now at 67 I have the time but not the financial means to make it happen. Guess I could swing it but should something happen I would be stranded. Maybe one day. I've always been one to give out long before I ever give up. Everyone ride safe and enjoy.

Ahh this is great really enjoyed

I know it's too late to be on the father's day tribute video But here it goes My father was an airforce veteran He taught me how to fix stuff, those were the most amazing time i spent with him, sadly he passed away a few years ago but whenever I'm doing minor repairs on my bike i always feel he is here with me helping me fix it.

58, just bought an RnineT to potter about on.

What an awesome video Dan!! And well done you Alice!! you're both truly inspiring, thanks for sharing your story! 👍👍

Nice summary, and I concur. Loving my 2018 model. Subscribed!👍

I can't imagine life without a motorbike. I've loved motorbikes from as long as I can remember. Nothing beats a good ride out.

What a nice looking and sounding bike.

Dream of flying often and it’s what I think is the closest thing for me. It’s my favorite way to move through the world. To smell the eucalyptus in the hot summer air, the sun on my face. To interact with my surroundings while I sit in a peaceful moment in time. Thanks 👍

68 still riding my Triumph 1050 strongly

Finally, stunning visuals - well done - great video - very engaging

you should have taken it to the dealer they might be able to adjust the idle or do a software flash to get it to start

I think these bikes are highly strung to meet emissions.. I've seen many people have their bikes mapped to get the emissions hand cuff off...

Very good interview. I like her spirit. I started riding friend’s bikes as a teen-ager back in the sixties. My bikes were/are late 70’s Honda CB350, 2004 Yamaha TW200, 2006 Kawasaki KLR650 (80,000 + miles! and still my all-time favorite) 2021 Honda CRF300 Rally (my little sweetheart), and now the 2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200xe: whoa, what a blast! Happy Trails!

I met 2 old riders, one late 80 and his young mate in his 70, he said I’d will give up when he can’t physically get on the bike, when his wife died the last thing she said was keep riding as long as you can, they were both so together with balance and coordination, it was an inspiration to me and the others I was with at the cafe, so that is my outlook, keep doing what you love till you physically can’t.

I enjoyed the video thank you. Could you include more about the bikes though?

I come from flying since I was a teenager. Now I’m turning 38 and now beginning to figure out motorcycle. Good stuff

Lol, i guess i came here to learn how to ride the corners slower😊

Go ask Alice..when she's 10 ft tall..

"Motorcycling is a broad church"

My first thought on hearing your start up was that the battery is weak .I see others are saying the same thing .. Maybe try a new battery .. SO I got a left over 2017 Street Scrambler in 2018 for $1500.00 off at $9500.00 . I added a center stand , heated grips larger Tiger adventure dirt foot pegs and a pannier rack for a wooden box to hold my winter and rain gear .. 19K miles so far and I love the thing .. I am on my third chain and my second sprocket and my third set of tires.. Lots of dirt and winter riding here in New England .56 MPG and low test fuel .I wish the gas tank was a littel bigger .170 miles range being carefull .. All the best , Guy

Beautiful bike, but it's heavy like hell :)

Great human interest story! Continue the good work!

Stumbled onto your channel and your brief but frank chat with Alice. I love the scramblers although I don’t own one. I have an Indian chieftain limited (113000km) and just bought a Pan Am (21000km) 3rd hand, oh an inherited Kawasaki 250cc intruder (from the guy who bought my 1200 iron sportster). Oh and I live in Australia but one thing Alice said resonated with me and it’s once I go riding I won’t to go further. Love long road trips, daylight to dawn & maybe a little beyond too, that just what I do. Also it calm the noise, I zone. Into riding that is and zone out almost everything else except my daughter and granddaughter. Oh and I’m about your ages too, 55. And been riding for 10yrs licences for 8, after my business partner and his partner both got killed in a bike accident. She survived him only for a few hours, I think of them too when I’m riding. I’m 5mths post open heart surgery too from a valve replacement that I’m lucky to have survived, there’s a lot of noise to block out. Thank you to you and Alice for sharing. I’ve subscribed and will do a bit of a binge of your earlier vlogs. 🙏 & thank you again.

Alice is a natural born motorcyclist. What a great riding buddy!

love this video mate 👏

Keep them coming Dan.... Nice to meet you Alice, ride safe people

Bug, love your videos! I’m a RUclipsr in The Dalles and I’m always looking for another rider to interview. You got lucky finding a gal that can tell a story.

This was good! I am 70 ,a women teying to get back into riding.my 2nd choice? An MG

Man she's jacked. See those guns?

As a newish female rider, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!

Crazy, my back is the same. I can ride without pain, but have so many other…doesn’t matter. Nice vid. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

61 and planning to ride my Bonneville forever. 2 years ago survived widow maker heart attack. The anxiety and mental issues that come after are terrible. The ride gives me freedom and sanity. My wife now rides as well. Started at 50. We’ve been together for 30 years and riding together is one of our all time favorites.

Cool interview! Alice is quite awesome, well done!!👍

I love this so much. I got my license 2 years ago at 45, and all I want is to inspire other women my age to DO THE THING! Get your license! It was great to hear Alice’s story. Thank you both!

Good vid Bug!

Love the direction your channel is taking. Keep them coming.

Thank you for this. Loved it. I started riding when I was 14 years old on a moped and later had a motorcycle at around 17 years old. I gave it up when my daughter was about five years old and now she is 19 and I am out looking for a bike. I know there is still risk but I always see it as, if you ride you may be more likely to die but you are definitely more likely to live. Peace and love to all and many miles to come. Dan 53 yo

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing so,many inspiring stories! 👍👍

Another amazing vid. You struck gold with friends like Alice.

My story mirrors hers so well. Awesome interview.

You keep saying click the subscribe button, but it only seems to work once for me, ha. What a great video. She reminds me of a girlfriend I had. Started her out on a Suzuki 250, she ended up on a Harley Sportster. Miss riding with her. For twisty roads If either of you get to NH you must ride the Mount Washington Auto Road. Shameless plug, I just posted that video. I say in the video I would never do it again, but it's like the Tail Of The Dragon, it calls you back. And from what Alice said in your video, you have to do it in reverse because you have to come down sometime. Although I have heard of people hiring someone to truck their bike down. I love your style of video making. Jealous actually. Glad the algorithm brought us together. Thank you.

Wow, I wish I’d gotten a bike as terrific as the 1200x as my second bike, I have one now but it’s my 72nd bike! 😂

Nice one! 48 here, I just got my motorcycle license and rode rented bikes for the first summer. Looking forward to convincing my wife that 1200 X will not kill me and get one for the next season.

I viewed your video and to say what’s good for some ,maybe not so good for others. I’m a guy that’s been riding for approximately 65 years. In some cases I’ve been on a bike longer than some been alive. As I aged I gained wisdom and experience. In my early 40s I had the opportunity to attend a law enforcement motorcycle training course. Learned a lot, but the main issue is keep the bike up on two wheels. When I returned from a long tour in Vietnam, my old 1963 Harley was my best therapist. It became my best friend again. Oh I traveled across the USA, and saw stuff ya can’t feel while driving a vehicle. Been through a bunch of bad storms in the Midwest. I’m touching into 8 decades now and I’m still riding, got the best of health and my mental status is very good. Just went through my annual physical and the doc. stated I was as fit as a 40 year old. When that enter person speaks to ya and tells ya it’s that time, then you have to do your own soul searching. That same voice spoke to me about 20 years back. That voice had a lot of outside pressure. If you’re thinking about riding late in life and never rode much before, ya might give yourself more time to think and get the training. That roads are not forgiving if you fall. Especially if one isn’t dressed for it, like you’re at the beach with flip flops on. That black top will eat you alive and you’ll heal very slow with a great deal of pain. Dress for the ride! See a lot of youngsters that ride as if they’re riding to hell. What’s their hurry, it’s waiting for ya if ya don’t take care and enjoy the ride. There is no big “S” printed on our shirts and you’re not the man or woman of steel. A 3-4 thousand pound vehicle will hurt ya if ya get hit by one. Ride with the belief these people driving a vehicle don’t see ya, cause they may not. Ride smart, enter an intersection with the thought you’re invisible slow as you enter cause there is always someone not looking for ya and turns in front of ya. Anticipate the unknown, you’ll live to ride longer. When I returned from Vietnam my grand dad told me that you wont see a motorcycle parked in front of a therapist office. Ya know he was right. He was one of those crazy guys who rode the board tracks in the 20s for extra money. Plus he rode the wheel of death at carnivals. He was a rider that got me into it in my very young age. Thanks grandpa, you’re the best. And still ridding with St.Peter. In the heavens. Guys keep the wind and the sun in your face. You’ll live better for it…..FREEDOM!

I have a scrambler 900. It prefers premium unleaded fuel. Mine didn’t start first time before I used premium unleaded. You get better mpg with it too. It starts first time every time now.

Great video!

Hard to find roads and ladies like that here in the Florida panhandle. You're both blessed in that regard. Stay safe.

What a wonderful video. Your voice has a calming effect. i myself ride a Street twin 900.

You’re getting very good at this video thing! Love the new concept! She’s a cool one!
