Here is my trusty steed for the trip. Bought on the advice of Mark, Roci was purchased 26 seconds before bidding ended on eBay (thanks for that Mark). I'm now the proud owner of a brand new, 10 year old bike. It has 175 miles on the clock and has lived in a garage next to its big brother the Fat Boy. If you're going to tour the USA by bike, its got be a Harley...
Jayne has kindly offered to drive Mark to pick the bike up (thanks for that Jayne) and he will double the miles ridden bringing it back to Washington DC.
The rack has been ordered and plans are made to get the licence plates, so with a fair wind we'll be heading off into the Blue Ridge Mountains on the 2nd April.
Hi Mike
ReplyDeleteLove the blog.
Question how did you clear this with the family, I'm sure there are many of us thinking "I wish I could do that" In fact I went as far as to ask my wife if I could do something similar - she looked at me with the look that can only mean "grow up", the added "when you have 2m in the bank than you can go".
Ho Hum
I shall continue to live the dream through you - so you can get wet on your bike, I'll stay dry!!! boaring.
