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.

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

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
