"The world record for the longest journey on a motorcycle belongs to Argentine Emilio Scotto, who left home on January 17, 1985... and returned on April 2, 1995, having covered a total of 735,000 km and visited 214 independent countries and territories Emilio drove the entire journey on a Honda motorcycle - the legendary
GL1100 Gold Wing 1980, nicknamed "Black Princess". For ten years "Princess" consumed 47,000 liters of fuel, 1,300 liters of oil, 86 tires, 12 batteries and 9 seats! .. For all 735,000 km, only one engine change was required. Upon returning home, Emilio wrote The Longest
Ride, in which he described his incredible journey over 224 pages.”

Me ? Looking at the rust eating up all chrome, looking at the engine parts spread around the house in shelves and boxes.

Someday may find the time and energy to put it all together ...but spent 10 years rehabilitating my cottages, house and properties, so at least bike not forgotten due to laziness :O)
