What A Trip!!



Have you ever just packed a bag, hopped on your bike, and hit the road???
The best times I've ever, EVER had on a motorcycle were just that random and spontaneous!
I have left town without planning a destination at all.



 I'd pack a bag with a few changes of clothes, a few necessities, & a map, & hit the road taking old state routes rather than the super slabs.


"A Perfect Picture" by Dave Barnhouse

It gives me peace of mind & is the best weapon against stress I've ever found!
There is something serene in a road trip that, to this day, I've not been able to find a substitute.
On the road, you learn alot about people and sometimes a little bit about yourself as well.



Rollin' down the road with a song in your head, your hand on the throttle, & accompanied by the rumble of your Harley's exhaust, is 2 wheeled therapy in it's purist form.



Sadly, many people have not experienced this since we live in world inundated with schedules, planning, meetings, along with the 'rat race'  technology has created.



I call these trips 'Hobo Runs" as they are reminiscent of the days folks would pack a bag, hop a train & search for opportunity, adventure, & sometimes their next meal.




Life is a trip...so take one!
Don't let overplanning keep you from the relaxation of the open road.
It's calling YOU!!!
