We left Oakley this morning with Denver as our destination. We set out on the road and not even 30 minutes in we lose Gomes. I signal to Marco to pull over. We look back in the distance to try and find Gomes and we see a small dot that we believe to be Gomes. We wait it out and…

Almost everyone we spoke with said the most boring part of our trip would be in Kansas. “It’s flat … there’s nothing … it’s boring” they’d say. We began dreading the ride through this state, especially since it would be the longest state we’d be crossing on the way to California. Well so far it’s the most scenic state we’ve…

We woke up today to some not so good weather reports. Even though it won’t rain in Kingdom City until 2pm, Kansas City is already experiencing rain and the clouds are moving towards us. We take a quick trip to the local Walmart to make some purchases we needed and then come back and try to decide on whether to…

Although we didn’t leave on time we made sure we were packed and ready to leave, so that at a moments notice if the bikes were set we could head out. At least I was. Pictured here are some of the items I, myself, packed. I know Gomes and Marco will have other accessories and items that they pack, such…

Our planned departure date came and went but we remain grounded. We had planned to leave Friday, August 7th, in the early morning and get as many miles done in the first day as possible. Unfortunately life doesn’t always work out as planned and we found that out the hard way. My bike had been having some clutch issues which…
Comments closedEarlier this year Marco reached out to Gomes and myself and said he wanted to take a trip across the country on motorcycles. Gomes was in. I, of course, was reluctant. My bike wasn’t ready, we wouldn’t have enough prep time, getting the time off of work, etc. But, the seed had been planted. We met a few times and…
