83 year old Harley motorcycle guy. I think most people would be lucky to reach 83 years old, let alone be driving a big Harley-Davidson motorcycle!
Not only has Pete beat the averages for longevity, but he has definitely entered into that elite group of motorcyclists who are still driving motorcycles in their 80s.
This interview was done at a Ramona, hot Rod and motorcycle show where he had his 2008 Harley Davidson entered. Unfortunately, Pete’s bike didn’t win that contest, but he did win my admiration and respect for a guy who is a true motorcycle enthusiast! Since Pete is a Harley Davidson motorcycle rider, I thought I provide some insight into the Harley Davidson motorcycle. These insights are from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Harley-Davidson, Inc. (H-D), or Harley, is an American motorcycle manufacturer, founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1903.
As one of two major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the Great Depression (along with Indian), the company has survived numerous ownership arrangements, subsidiary arrangements (e.g., Aermacchi 1974-1978 and Buell 1987-2009), periods of poor economic health and product quality, as well as intense global competition— to become the world’s fifth largest motorcycle manufacturer and an iconic brand widely known for its loyal following — with owner clubs and events worldwide as well as a company sponsored brand-focused museum.
Noted for a style of customization that gave rise to the chopper motorcycle style, Harley-Davidson traditionally marketed heavyweight, air-cooled cruiser motorcycles with engine displacements greater than 700 cc — and has broadened its offerings to include its more contemporary VRSC (2001) and middle-weight Street (2014) platforms.
Harley-Davidson manufactures its motorcycles at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri; Manaus, Brazil; and Bawal, India — and markets its products worldwide.

This guy is part of MC history!
Great video & cool old dude!
Thanks for doing this. I hope I’m still around at 83.
Most people at 83 would be driving one of those electric handicap scooters! This is very inspirational!
A pleasure to watch.
I liked it.
