ABSOLUTELY I’d do it again and with very little different, other than allowing more time for the entire trip … both in travel-time and time to enjoy all the States had to offer us! It was a learning experience for both of us, with my longest ride-to-date being 2800 miles over the same 9-day period, but if it was the only way I could do it again, I’d still jump on the chance.
Awesome job putting it together and Awesome friends to share the experience with, knowing friends were praying for our safety and we were being watched-over our entire trip to keep safe so late into many nights!
I’m anxious to complete compiling my video & pix to share with others, but already looking forward to the next chance to experience another ride like this one was, especially on the fine machines we ride!
