Summer Rally dates

If it was just me then maybe but I know my father and our friend wont do it. I dont ever get out of Texas so there will have to be some site seeing.

Ive gone from middle of texas to Charolette, NC in a car and it sucked. Being on a bike that long will probably be more enjoyable but itll be a long haul and Ill be wipe d out the next day.

I also have the fear of breaking down. Not really concerned about being stranded but I dont make the kind of money that most of you do. I cant just call up a tow truck and pay hundreds or more to have my bike shipped back or pay a mechanic to "do whatever it takes."

You need more long distance miles under your belt. Texas is big enough for you to do that. Get on it. I can do OKC to NC in one day. Quit your belly achin'.

Heck, the trip I'm planning for April I'm planning to ride from San Diego to OKC in one day. Par for the course my friend, par for the course.

You have a brand new motorcycle right? Maybe you should have bought something besides a Kawasaki if you're worried about breakdowns.

I use the vfr for trips. I dont have the luxury of a job/income to let me take off when ever and for a long time. Im not being a prun. Just stating facts of life for me. Once the trip is set Ill do my best to make it but no promises.

Sure Id like to just take off but I only get sat/sun off. Not much time to go on a long trip. Just getting on tye bike and going from point A to point be then back in two days isnt fun and is a waste of money for me. Its got to be at least 4 days or more so I can actually do something.
