On my way to swim in the Pacific! Left La. yesterday. Met up with some friends in central texas for an awesome day of riding in the hill country. Gonna hit Big Bend tomorrow and get as west as I can. Plan on making San Diego thursday evening. Then make my way up the coast till half my money is gone! If you need some entertainment and/or a house guest, I am at your service!

Lordsburg,NM is my home for the night. GPS says close to 1000 miles home. I need to quit riding in circles because I have been close to 1800 miles. (thats a lot of gas in a rocket) Watched some snow skiers today while riding at around 9000 feet in Cloudcroft, NM. And to think they looked at me like i was the crazy one! Should be on the beaches of Southern Cal tomorrow evening.

600 miles and 2 national parks in AZ visited. Made it into Cali but not to the ocean yet. Camped behind a fire station. Atleast they let me in to take a shower.

Lane splitting on a Rocket 3 Touring between San Diego and L.A. is more fun than yall can imagine! People were actually getting out of the way.

I'm definitely hitting LA during afternoon rush hour on my next trip...I can't wait to actually LEGALLY lane split!
But splitting across the Whitestone Expressway, Grand Central Parkway, and Brooklyn Queens Expressway today was fun enough!

In Kingman, AZ for the night. No more legal lane splitting. Route 66 between Needles, Ca & Kingman should be on everyone's must ride. By far the best, you will procede with extreme caution, road i've been on.

Almost home. Last fuel stop. Gonna end up about a 4600 mile loop. Heading south in the morning with a group of firemen for a little couple hundred mile lunch ride.
