First!

First Ill say a little about my self. Im 25 and been riding almost 5 years now. I bought a bike when I turned 21 and have ridden it a little over 47,000 miles. People who know me know that there are few things I like more than riding. I ride in the rain. I ride in the sun. I ride when its cold and I ride when its hot. I even make motorcycle noises when I walk places and lean when I have to ride in a car. It likely makes me crazy but its who I am.

Last summer I did a car road trip which ended up being a 16,000 mile trip across the US which hit all but 2 of the lower 48 states. There were 3 of us in the car and we wrote a blog http://ourepictrip.blogspot.com. Of the 4 states we didnt visit on the trip the one I really want to see next is Alaska. I have always wanted to go to Alaska and a couple weeks ago decided that Im actually going to do it. The only way to do a trip like this is on a motorcycle.

I havnt talked anyone else into riding with me yet so I might end up doing this alone but thats something Ive come to terms with.

This is my current bike.



one of my other riding adventures took me out into the desert on my bike.
