Next Thursday a buddy and I are leaving Albuquerque, NM for Orlando, FL for a business trip. Return via GA, NC, TN, AR, OK and hopefully hit lots of great roads on the way home! The GPS says 1732 miles on the outbound leg; 2361 miles on the way home. This is my first overnight trip on a motorcycle (done lots of bicycle tours, etc.) and I'm really looking forward to it. With about 8,000 miles on my Uly (stock except for Laminar Lip) I think I have the perfect bike for the trip. Although it may not be that noteworthy for those of you who are experienced tourers, I'm really excited about it; my first big road trip! Hopefully we'll catch the gap between the spring tornadoes and the summer hurricanes! Here in New Mexico it hasn't even rained since November... |

Central Florida hasn't seen much rain this year, either. My yard is beginning to look like a desert. Sounds like a fun trip. How much time have you allotted? |

Dr_greg, Sounds like a pretty awesome trip. Be sure and take photos and post your journey here and/or at advrider.com. I've only done a couple of overnighters, but I can't wait to do more. I'll swear, it's just a rush when you leave "home territory" and realize you're on a stretch of road you've never been on before and you don't know what to expect around the next corner. I think that feeling is about the coolest thing about riding on two wheels to me. Cagers really just don't know what they're missing. Have a great trip. |

M/C touring is to me the best way to see the country. I havent taken a cage on vacation in years. YOU will get addicted, and feel the same way. Good luck and have a great time. If you are lucky, you can stay with some fellow badwebbers, and save a few bucks, and get to know some great folks. |
