Sometimes you need a reason, a purpose. From that conversation, I had the excuse I needed for my next ride. I even went and bought a second motorcycle just for this. I did my last trip 7 months ago on an '82 Suzuki GS850L across America's midsection, a 5000-mile adventure to say the least. This bike runs like a tank.
Nothing clears cobwebs from the mind like endless road and a motorcycle.
It all began on Monday, January 10. Tim's travels, Corps, Country. Otherwise I would have left several days ago. This last weekend, myself and a couple guys from my unit were up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for cold weather training. We go up there once a year to practice some basic warfare in a cold and snowy environment.
