So, yeah. All you really need is a couple of days and a friggin' map.
Taking an "adventure ride" isn't all that difficult.
It's funny, when I was younger we would do that stuff all the time. I'd get on my trusty Yamaha 650 Special II, maroon and chrome.
Duffel bag strapped to the rear pillion/sissy bar thing and wearing a Levi's jean jacket and we would go riding.
Nowadays it's a friggin business
Anyway- pick some dates, just like the Trans PA trail
. No need to plan a route, head north and stay on the gravel and back roads.
Oh yeah, hotels are for pussies and old men.

Mighty big words there Bruce!
Why do I have an image of you with a beard and a red white and blue banana riding a bike with ape hangers and a peanut gas tank?

New DAMN guy here. Definitely interested in riding some or all of this this season. I was thinking ride out west to junction and cut left or right, go to end and then head back to junction and back east.

Anyone pick dates for this yet? This sounds like a good trip for the Tiger.

1100 miles sounds like a 3, maybe 4 day ride.
