have you ever watched Itchy Boots on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaFFDPCUp-Y
she's from the Netherlands and rides all over the world
incredibly brave
a woman, single, riding through some of the most secluded areas in the world
she had to quit her last ride because she wrecked and broke her collar bone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbqQqh2nyJE
and she's had some real sketchy boarder crossings with guards demanding bribes and giving her problems with visas and travel

I think writing/poetry is becoming a lost art. A lot of news articles and some books are AI generated now.

In some parts of the country community colleges will offer free/low cost programs for seniors. May have to wait 2 years if it is a 65 cutoff, but still might be able to.

Dewisant
DM me your state of residence and I will see what I can find. I studied that program for an academic paper that I promptly never got published, lol.

You can always do something similar with your time, break it down into smaller chunks, and depending on your budget, change the Harley or sports bike into an eco bike that resembles a sports bike or Harley, and it doesn't really need a new motorcycle license for that use.
You can also do something like the CLEP/DSST that you've not had a chance to do, take some Law Shelf classes to get familiar with Law/Legal terminology. Take the MA/MBA from Saylor.org since it's a freebie before accreditation. The list goes on with what you can do...

Any lists of free classes/degrees for seniors?
