Day One: Holy Crap
So I learned some things today!
one: It is alot cooler in theory to ride a motorcycle cross country than it is to actually do it.
two: If you think your front tire is low, don't lean over because you might end up on the velcro a couple a feet away from a metal guard rail when you look up.
three: A small engine cover flapping in the wind can cause a pretty speed wabble at 80mph.
four: My motorcycle will go 158.1 miles before it runs out of petro (for Ewan) PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to NOT be in the left lane beside a tractor trailer truck, at this mileage, cause that would make for a heck of a first day.
Jolie is a good sport and a local in Memphis.
Newly engaged Zennia and Nate in their fancy pad. The first time I went to Alaska Nate was there. Actually the first time I traveled as a vagrant Nate was there. Boston.... News Years Eve for Phish, we did not get in the show.
Heck of a first day! Actually the shortest miles of everyday and we did not get to Arkansas until 8pm...... I am tired, sore, and ready to ride.
