Today’s plan is to get home, no matter what. There is a lack of confidence in whether or not my bike will make it based off what happened yesterday but because we are so close to home our plan is to ride it out as much as possible and as soon as my bike breaks down, myself and Gomes’ will…

It’s 5am when the alarms on our phones start playing. Not only is this the earliest we have awoken on this trip but its also on the coldest morning. Over night the temperature dropped to 48 degrees F, which feels like 30 once you get on the bike and fight the wind that’s doing everything in it’s power to creep…

This morning finds us at the beautiful and hip Little Tart Bakeshop. With only a few days left till we’re back home, we wanted to spend some time catching up on work. I felt right at home here, with everyone around me on their laptops typing away and discussing upcoming projects that they’ve got. This creative community got me excited and anxious…

If you have any interest in 2 wheeled motorized machines, this is your Mecca. A pilgrimage should be made here every year for those who keep the wind at their face and sun to their back. The photos below will do the talking as there isn’t much else to say except that you must go there for yourself.

Come walk with me, not to follow though, because I’m not leading the way. The screen door on the backside of this brick building is our passage into the reenactment of the Goodfellas scene where Henry escorts Karen through the kitchen of the Copacabana night club, except we are in Kenner, LA walking into La Bella’s Catering. Ray Liotta’s character…

I think this trip has really made me a believer of everything happens for a reason and that, what’s meant to be will be. Of course you can’t just sit around thinking things will fall on your lap or this trip would never have happened; but sometimes the plans we have are interrupted and changed and it may seem like…

The day begins with the sound of the Uhaul truck backing onto the front lawn, ramp being pulled out and bikes unloaded by Marco. He clears out the Uhaul truck with all of our gear with the exception of what belonged to Bruno and extra gear that we wanted to send back, for today was the day that we parted…

I can tell you how we crossed the most narrow section of Texas and through Oklahoma, which was never part of our plan, but frankly, we don’t have many pictures and sitting in a truck’s cabin isn’t all that interesting. Our saving grace was watching Django Unchained on Gomes’ iPhone just before getting into Memphis. To make a long story…

Marco walked down the street to a parts store to buy some items while Gomes and I finished getting ready this morning. The plan was to make it to Memphis. It was a chill day and we just sat in the U-Haul truck cabin laughing about the situation, and talking about the trip and other interesting topics of conversation that…

Tensions were a bit high this morning, especially on my side because I was worried about my bike and stressing about time once again. We get ready and I go out to check on my bike’s fluids. I learn that the coolant is fine but the oil is practically non existent. There is some at the bottom but not enough…
