pg: I appreciated it... You are a gentleman and a scholar. (When I win the lottery, I going to get myself a 1937 or '38 Indian Sport Scout to go along with the 1936 Chrysler Imperial Airflow coupe I'll get at the same time. ) 8-)

Well I had a chance to read it while I ate lunch.

How can this adventure be any fun when it is freezing cold and snowy? Why in the world wouldn't a person wait a month to ride eh bike home.........so they could ride more comfortably?

Some folks are just a bunch more durable than I am. Those kind of temperatures would just make me miserable for the entire trip.

I know what you mean. In January I rode 750 miles to Orlando and it didn't get above 45 very much. It was the same week that the mid-atlantic got all that snow. Even the guy at the gas station gave me free coffee and asked me if I was that hardcore or just an idiot.... :-?

Anyway here is this guys website; evidently, he goes around the world.
