Cross Country Summer Motorcycle Trip
My Dad, brother, nephew and I are planning to criss-cross the country this summer on the motorcycles. Since I know my wrists wont be able to handle 10,000 to 12,000 miles in 5 weeks, Bert (my brother), Johnny (my nephew who is a NEW rider), and I are going to swap out on the two Harley’s. We will all be pulling trailers and will camp out almost every night we are on the trip. We will have two camcorders, several cameras, and one laptop with us on the trip. I hope that I will be able to post something every night or every other night that we are on this trip. Of course there will be the mobile shots that I upload to Facebook and MySpace during the day. So be sure to watch out for those.
To my truck driving and biker friends, please stay in touch while I am on this trip. If we are going to cross paths maybe we can stop for a few minuets and visit. If anyone would like to ride part of the trip with us, you are more than welcome to. Please just understand that we are going to be on a bit of a schedule. My brother is flying in from Israel on a certain day and has to fly back on a certain day. So if you want to ride with us, you will need to meet us some where on our route. We will be spending a couple of days in the northeast for Johnny’s graduation and down around Del Rio, TX to see my niece, Taylor.
