Planning a long trip?

I've ridden long distances before. I'm just not thrilled about the idea of doing it.

Traveling around Newfoundland I had some pretty long days.

yeah I bet! I'm planning a trip up there... thinking next year... looping up through Labrador.

though I'm done with long days rack'n up miles (if I can help it) I wanna take my time... enjoy the views... 8hr days max unless it's all off road... then 12hrs

I think back to my Indy trip... and think of all the area's I blew through pushing to get to the next stop... blah... as is I have photos from the start.... in FL... TN... and Indy... that's about it. sad really.

My total dream is to see a sign for the worlds biggest squirl, then pull off for a day to see the world biggest squirl, and not worry about having to be somewhere in any decent amount of time.

Here is a great link, the guy has been on the road almost constantly since 94 on his Harley having been on 6 continents and almost every country in the world, except the new ones that were created since he rolled through the old ones.

Spend a week or two reading through his story and looking through his pictures. That bike has probably close to 500k km on it, and they have literally been everywhere. Sorta puts g-rex to shame a little bit huh?
