When 62 year old Don Nelson from Colorado walked into a motorcycle dealership for a casual look around, little did he know what was about to happen.

Despite not having ridden a motorcycle in over 40 years, he rediscovered his passion for riding and felt immediately at ease on the bike.

For Don, age is just a number as he continues to embrace the freedom and excitement that motorcycling brings.
