eventually yes... not right away...

first I gotta buy a bike... think'n of make'n a trip out of that and buying it in Knoxville as an excuse to ride the gap and hang out with Trip, Drewpy, fatburg and whoever else is in the area... but I'll be hauling it in the back of my truck back down.

after that long a ride... I've come to the realization that riding long trips alone... SUCKS ASS! you need some company. the routes where I rode with someone were 1000x better than the routes with out...

I'm still planning on hitting the corners of the US on two wheels... just need to kid nap one of you fuckers to do it with me!

No need to kidnap, just let someone know...Hell if I can't make it the whole trip we can relay you like we do Chewie!

By the way KillBoy's site is blocked here on my work as well as photobucket and some others...

Thanks for the pic. Looks like fun.

I have always wanted to go to Nova and the Keys would be an OK trip...Perhaps after Indy...

the Key's trip would DEFINITELY be for pics and that's about it... and I'd most definitely need company as the few roads I did ride even in the pan handle of FL sucked.

but I've now got 19 states down... gonna have to figure out how to hit up Wisconsin and Minnesota now that I'm gonna be in MS...

You have to hit up Road America(Wisconsin) for the AMA race there or even Mid Ohio.

I'd like to go to the keys but it definitely wouldn't be on the bike. I hear it sucks enough being stuck on the bridges in a cage and it's 100x worse on the bike. Plus, I would need touring tires, I wasted a lot of good tread on the indy trip.

well after how my Strada's held up... those would be my first choice for tire...

and the whole point is to do it on two wheels... Hawaii is the only state I've never been in. but I want to hit them all on Two wheels.

and yeah depending on how I like track days Rider... it'd be cool to run up there... then again... I'd probably trailer for a trackday rather than ride a couple hundred miles to and from it...
