Is that a 190 tire?
- 180.
Did you catch any heat from US cops with your plate like that?
- 0. Non-sport bikes seem to get a lot less attention from cops. And people on tour are not really bothered as well, IMO.
What are some of the places you would have liked to stop, but didn't?
- Too many to list for sure, but I certainly missed out on Pikes Peak, Monument Valley, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Beartooth Hwy. I'd also like to spend more time on Highway 1 (PCH), Northern California - north of San Francisco, Colorado, Arizona, and go to Montana and the Dakotas.
What were your stretch intervals?
- 100kms-200kms. A lot more breaks if there is scenery, and a lot less breaks if in mid Nevada going over 150km/h on straight line.
How old are you?
- 25
What make of bag is that?
- It's my tennis bag. Thermo-guard, water-ressistent and top quality material. Best backpack ever.
What was the high point on your trip?
- HIGH at all times =) As soon as I cross the border and ride into unknown places, there is this intense feeling of excitement, journey, adventure, awareness of senses, and appreciation of a 24hr, day by day. Imagine having it for 15days in a row.. I remember a few times looking at some scenery, thinking "there is no way this is gonna get any more epic than this", and it just kept on getting better and better through out.
What was the low point?
- On last day, I had a stiff back that actually got unbearable in the last 400kms or so.. Long days finally caught up I think. I had to take an hour break at around London, ON before I could get home.
Would you do it again?
- 100%. This trip makes much more sense to me than locking myself up in a resort in Bahamas or something, but the gf doesn't agree lol. If I had more money, I'd go next time for a similar trip in South America or Asia.
