this past summer i took a solo trip and rode 2500 miles from missoula, mt to vicksburg ms. it was my first trip on a bike and it was an eye opener. just got a wild hair and decided to take a trip of a lifetime. planned a return route, flew up to mt and bought a bike and rode it back.

unless you have done it, you will never know what it feels like to put sound logic and reasoning aside and go off chasing a dream. i think everyone should take the time to face themselves in the mirror and say "it is something i want to do, and there aint a living soul that will tell me i cant and convince me not to! i'll be back when i get back and thats that!"

my experience is one i will take to the grave and never once will i have to say "if i would have only taken the time to do such and such."

i think i even sleep better at night.

anyway, it is personally rewarding to make your big plans and follow them through to the last mile.

gps4,

Right-the-****-on!

That is the best post I've read.

....I plan on making the 100th (short trip) and trying to swing Sturgis. Nailed plans are to leave Northern Illinois with stops in Lansing MI, Frederick MD, Wash DC, Richmond VA, Rocky Mount and Charlotte NC, Atlanta GA and back. Visiting relatives in each city, in 10-14 day period. As of tonight, it's solo for the most part.

Yo hogg831!

If you have some time when your in the DC area, I'd recommend visiting the NRA museum in Vienna, VA (its free!).
