This Blog is a little ditty
to chronicle my upcoming cross-country motorcycle trip. It's one of my
repressed adolescent ambitions that I must attend to while my body is
still cooperative. While I'm reasonably comfortable riding long
distances, I can foresee a day soon when the pain overwhelms the pleasures.
Therefore, I'm taking my trusty steed on a journey across this great
land to experience the geographical and cultural wonder that is America.
Touring on a high-performance motorcycle is an endeavor that is difficult for some folks to grasp. While it may appear more trouble than it's worth, I assure you the rewards more than make up for the "hassle". The experience covers the full emotional and sensory spectrum. There's so much one can derive from the venture: exhilaration, terror, serenity, misery, melancholy, pain, and on and on. The one thing it is not though is forgettable. You will remember your journeys taken on two wheels.
In addition to the motorcycle sensory overload, I intend to amplify the experience by camping whenever feasible. This of course is contingent upon my physical abilities to endure so much pleasure. Just a man, his motorcycle, tent and Advil. Hopefully I will be able to chronicle all the joys and sorrows of this trip such that it merits reading by persons other than myself. I can only hope.
Cheers
Hope you post some awesome pictures so the rest of us stuck in Georgia can live vicariously through you!

DeleteMike, I think your adventure is pretty cool! ... Just not sure about staying in that motel you posted :-)! Too bad Debbie couldn't tag along with you. Not sure if you've made it back yet but be careful out there and happy adventuring!
