Ok I only have a few minutes... (I'm in the parking lot of a Days Inn highjackin their wireless) more of this trip is to come I hope but its going to be more of a family travel....
A few quick thoughts of some things rattlin in my head during the hours of highway that has happened the past few days on my ride and I’ll share the trip lata...

- NO I'm young and screw that!
- Choppers are Bitchin

- Fuk this full throttle down the next couple 500 miles
- No worries just no ridin at night
