Great read. Thanks.
Reminded me of the quote I recently heard..."chrome won't get you home".
I guess motorcycle know-how is key.
FM.

 

Should be just a few weeks actually. Already have that set of hiccups out of the way, time to find the other ones.

Already laughing about it, I like to call it my "Polish Luck". This is the luck you get when you are a mix of Irish and Polish. Besides, I got to meet some true heroes on when I had stop and fix something. Met a WWII vet, was one of the original Frogmen in the Navy, shared some good stories and a few tears, also met a Viet Nam vet who had been a POW. I plan on keeping in touch with both, I felt honored to have met them.

On my next trip, I am planning on going up into the U.P. and then over into Wisconsin and down through Illinois and follow Lake Michigan back up to Empire/Glen Arbor area and back down to home. This time I am going to take a tent and maybe some fishing gear to catch and make my own food.

Total round trip, I put on somewhere in the neighborhood of 3800-4000 miles, not bad for a couple of weeks. My a$$ is still sore from the needs to be replaced seat though, but you're all right, I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

 

That was a great read, thanks for sharing. Lessons learned, and taught to others.

One heck of a trip, Hope you where able to enjoy some of it,

And thank you for your service.

 

now thats a trip you'll never forget! Thanks for sharing.

 

Glad you survived Franklin, Ohio. I lived over a flower shop in a studio apartment for 6 months once. Sort of a scary little town.

 

I enjoyed the entire trip, the good and unfortunate parts, loved every minute of it.

And I find out sometime this week if I am able to go back on active duty, this time it will be Army, not Navy. While I was in I had a blast. And It was definitely my pleasure to have served for the people of this great nation.
