Big car show in.springfield this weekend.

I found on a bike if I travel for 2 hours and take a break it makes the miles go by a little faster and makes days easier

You coming down?

check yo rep

Dinny

Dunno yet. Supposed to go out on a floating prostitute, thinking car show might sound better.

The water is cold still

Yep.

How long is the break? I would do a road trip like that in a car if the break is overnight.

For me I take 10-20 min..but I can see how overnight would have its advantages

I'm building in a 15 minute stop at every fuel stop.

47 hours until I begin this adventure.

Took a look down a westbound road right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two wheeler I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll roll me away won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost I feel double crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east I could go west it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

Roll roll away I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin' gotta keep ridin' keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

Such a great tune.

Seconded.

Good luck on your trip pr_capone.

Keep us updated as the trip goes. Otherwise we will not be able to live through your actions vicariously. :thumb:

Please take post pictures of the dog ramp you build to cross the mississippi

I have done several long Motorcycle trips. Back in 2003 for Harley's 100th I rode all 4 corners of the U.S. Starting in San Diego. Rode up to the Canadian border and across to Milwaukee for Harley's Party. Over to Vermont and shot up into Canada and then dropped down in to Main to hit the North East Corner. Stopped in Kitty Hawk and paid homage to the Wright Brothers and celebrated 100 years of flight. Cruised down one side of Florida to Key West and Back up the other side of Florida. Rode to KC and then back home to San Diego.

That trip was somewhere around 16,000 Miles in 6 weeks. Stopped and saw family and friends all across the country. Met a few planateers along the way.
Big K in Central Calif. Bwana in Billings, In Springfield I met TK and Galen.

I have ridden a little over 1000 miles in one day more out of necessity than the desire to accomplish an Iron Butt award. I just needed to be in KC to meet an inspector the next day and I was in North Carolina at the time.
