Here in the Pacific Northwest, the motorcycle riding season can be year round...or it can be short. Mine...up to this point...has been fairly short. I have been riding a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic since July 2006, and it has seen less than 6,000 miles of travel. My longest ride with the V-Star was 1876 miles through Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon last June with a couple friends. Most of my rides since then have been 100 miles or less on particularly sunny days when I had no excuse not to ride. Sad but true...
I recently purchased a 2008 Honda GL-1800 Gold Wing in preparation for my "running away from home" tour in 2010. I have a couple road trips planned for this summer to get familiar with the new bike, and I will practice packing to camp on the road (which I have done very little of in the past).
I will also practice sharing my experiences with those who would like to join me, but don't have the luxury of time and/or circumstance. I truly enjoy reading the exploits of other free spirited travelers, and I will try to make my journey as interesting as I find theirs.
