For the love of the open road n traveling souls This was my 3rd motorcycle cross country trip. First one was with my buddy Eric back in 2001 and I crashed at Yellowstone Park. It took me 4 months to heal and we moved to San Diego to recover my injury. Two years later I was ready to come home and rode my new Triumph alone from San Diego to Vancouver thru Canada to Montreal and back to NY. In July of 2005, I took my brave girlfriend Lex on the biggest motorcycle road trip I have ever done. 3 months of adventure. 9,000 miles. Coast to coast. We went to countless National Parks, camped out night after night, fought thru the blazing sun, freezing cold, rain, wind and sand storms and with 4 break downs. The things we saw, people we met, food we ate and the memories we had.. it was the best adventure of our lives... 9.1.06 [ 1217 views ]
