  1. for anyone out there reading this...should we start a fund for extracating them out due to legal or medical reasons? Hope you all have a great time and we look forward to the pics and stories.

  3. Hope your trip goes well. On dirt bikes? through the dirt? My dream of a motorcycle ride is cruising from Lancaster, PA to the my home on the California coast on my Honda VTX 1300cc.

    Peace,

  4. @ Darrell: The trailer's now legally Balzer's, but it wasn't before we bought it for this trip. The red bike is Del's Shadow (1100 spirit)

    @ Leo: Ya, that's been most of my experience too. Time to diversify a bit...
