Home Safe. Thanks!
« on: October 25, 2008, 09:25:52 PM »
So this is where I've been the last two weeks:


My 37 year old bike performed flawlessly but for the abuse of its operator. Just wanted to say thanks for all of the advice and encouragement. A year ago I never would have dreamed that I would have even tried a trip like this. And yes, it was a total blast!

Great looking trip.  I echo the chorus to post a ride report (looking at a long trip myself).

Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures. I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~
