One month, approx. 6,800 miles.

I need a vacation. I haven't had anything even remotely like one since 2015, and since then, I've lost my wife, rebuilt my business from scratch and I've been putting in 12 to 16 hours a day for the past two years doing that.
Here I have this ST1300 that's just been used as a grocery getter since I got it.
That changes in June. Portland Oregon to Long Beach Ca, to Houston Tx, to Tampa Fl. to Raleigh NC, NYC, Silver Spring Md. up to Canada and back west to Portland Or.
Serenity gets a new back shoe next week. I'm shopping for a decent trailer for her. With or without, I'm headed to points east. six thousand eight hundred miles. Just to see what I can see.
I have a feeling my ass is never gonna forgive me...

Sounds like a good plan, hope to get back in the saddle myself soon. Enjoy your trip

 

[SupraSabre]

Excellent plan! Hope it turns out for you! Be sure to share your ride as you are on your trip!

. . . Raleigh NC, NYC, Silver Spring Md. . . .

Are you aware that is a zig-zag?

Are you aware that is a zig-zag?

Zig-Zags, U-turns, curvy roads, and some loose dirt roads makes for fun riding.

Are you aware that is a zig-zag?

Isn't the voyage the destination?

 

[the Ferret]

Sounds like an excellent trip. Good luck, have sun, ride safe

I hope your ride takes you where you need to be.

If I could give some advice: make that route flexible. You never know what you might see along the way that piques your interest and encourages a detour. The best trip I've ever taken was about that length and didn't have any fixed points along the way. I went through 17 western states in that sojourn. I hope that find what you need to find and encounter the peace in solitude that comes from long days in the saddle. Keep us posted.
