Will probably post it a week before we land. – I know Chooch just sent out his title. I got mine in the mail yesterday so I might do the same. Rather not carry it on the bike. ---

F planning an adventure! Some of the best rides I’ve ever had on my bike where when I just got on it and rode. I’d imagine it’s the same when the bike has a motor mounted in the frame as well? No set route and the only requirement was I was back at my house before dark. ---

I meant planning out a day by day turn by turn set of directions. I hope neither of you break down in a Deliverance-esque setting. Remember-you don’t have to out run them, just out run the other person. ---

When this is over I vote for a sticky, but lock it until you’re able post all the updates so the whole trip can be on the first few posts without having to sift through page after page of comments to get to the updates. Such a cool trip. Props to you for taking it on. PS… Can’t believe you’re doing this trip without a windshield or even a small fairing. 🙂 ---
