True There’s No Age Limit
Follow these two seventy-somethings, Buddy and Bob, as they attempt this daring 3400-mile coast-to-coast journey atop their Piaggio MP3 500 scooters. (I am kind of jealous now and only wish that I can still move without much pain at their age.) Truly, they’re doing something quite remarkable.

This is the original e-mail that got me interested in the story of Buddy and Bob:
“You’re invited to tune into the Lincoln Highway scooter adventures of Buddy and Bob, two 70-something seniors on a classic American road trip. Their 3400 mile cross country adventure starts in San Francisco’s Lincoln Square today, and you can watch them pull out of the city, real-time, at www.piaggiousa.com. Check in frequently – they’ll be blogging their way all the way to Times Square – estimated date of arrival is July 14. Along the way they’re going to do their best to prove that age and the spirit of adventure aren’t mutually exclusive.
For more information, an on-the-road interview, images or other details, give us a call.
