April 20, 2012

Well look at this - my first posting. I have no idea what I am doing (yet) but I am glad to be starting this. As of today, I am still waiting on the final quote for my bike (a Harley Davidson Road King).

So my trip is planned to take place between June 30, 2012 and August 12, 2012.  I have decided to buy my bike in Denver, take my ride, and then end in Denver and have it shipped to Atlanta. I save at least 2 days each way and there is nothing I really want to see in between.

I am excited with a touch of nervousness driven mainly by the unknown nature of this trip. I will essentially be alone for 6 weeks with a map and a wide open USA. My excitement comes from the opportunities this trip will present. I will be visiting quite a few friends and acquaintances and I am sure I will meet a ton of characters on the road.

Anyway, lets see if I can figure out how to work this blog.
