Missing Texas on purpose I see. That's ok.

Been to Texas before, this is about going somewhere I haven't.

O. I have 42 states but im gonna reset to 49 since i was a kid when i went through them.

Ok, but this isn't just about adding to my 50 state map for me (texas isn't part of that yet cause I only consider states I two wheels in and never rode in texas), I want to see more of America. Going through Texas will waste too much time and I am very limited on time. I don't particularily want to go through the plain states at all, but they are in the way of where I actually want to go and see.

That stretch between the panhandle of Oklahoma and Colorado Springs will be a REAL eye opener....western Kansas / Oklahoma is bad for wide open, flat and windy spaces....but....eastern Colorado is worse. It is literally a wasteland...miles and MILES of barren and WINDY desert.

That said, I'll still meet you in the panhandle and ride over to Pikes Peak with you...spend a few days in that area and then ride back to Wichita.

Man, if only I had a full summer off to just ride. It's amazing how little of the world people get to see.

yeah no kidding, it would be nice to just ride til you ran out of money. Kaneman has an awesome trip on adv rider. Great thread.

This is why I'm sticking with my job... 11 years and I'll have a pension of at least 1100 a month. that's enough to travel on two wheels around the world. I won't be living in luxury but I'll be living.

I plan on 4 years before becoming a Walmart greeter :lol:

I'll be doing the same thing but going for the slightly higher pension (double his) that affords me a daily shower. 14 yrs left

stay away from women then. LOL
