So...the time is near. Near for what? Near for me to get on the bike and get the ****** off the east coast.
Sometime right around 8/22, I'm taking a 2 week road trip across the great US of A. I have no itinerary, nowhere to be...just ride north and west until I feel like heading back to Brooklyn. There is only one guarantee. And that is that I will NOT get home a minute before I absolutely have to.
The plan is to pretty much haul ****** across the midwest, head thru Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Northern California (I soooo can't wait to actually LEGALLY lanesplit). Then I'll make a U-turn and head back thru Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa.
So...now you know what, when and where. If you ask why, I think I'll break this beer bottle and stab myself. My question for y'all is "who". There's tons of you guys across the country and I've met a ton on this side of the Misssissippi...I'd like to meet some of you guys on the other side.
If you want to meet up and ride between destinations with me, outstanding (as Uncle Fill would say). If I can be so bold as to ask for potential couch or floorspace possiblities as well...it would most greatly help the trip financially. And don't worry...I can pay my way doing odd jobs such as getting rid of those old cans of Busch your neighbor brought over 3 years ago and are still sitting in the garage. Or burning stuff...I'm quite good at that one too. If you're weary about having some stranger you met on the internet into your home...absolutely no worries...I'd still like to meet up and eat some food or drink some beers with you when you get off of work.
So...let me know if you're interested in getting together, and I'll do my best to make it happen. Just remember that this will be a 6000+ mile trip, so anything can happen along the way.
Also...seeing as I've never been out this way before, any advice on weather patterns during late August and early September would be most helpful. Also if you can fill me in on any must-see attractions and cheap roach-motels I'd be much obliged.
