About this episode
Elizabeth Waltman discusses her journey into motorcycle racing at the age of 66 and her passion for teaching others.
Motorcycle racing is a dangerous, demanding sport that usually attracts young riders. Elizabeth Waltman, surprisingly, took it up at age 66 after decades of street riding. Now 70, she teaches others how to ride on the track. Track skills make a person a better street rider, Elizabeth says. Riding Into The Sunset is brought to you by the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and hosted by journalist & author Ed Housewright. Reach us by email at podcast@bmwmoa.org .
