So I'm coming into my mid-life crisis meeting my kid life turning into adult responsibilities phase. Enter me getting a busa. It gets me thinking. I keep seeing posts of the forum gods with 60k+ on busas, pics in the mountains, the best scenery in the states. Actually using saddlebags for touring...
Has anyone ever gone cross country?
I'm in Michigan. I think to myself, ive never seen the ocean, And never been south of Indy, west of Chicago, east of Detroit, or north in Canada. It's fun to dream, but how cool would it be to pack a sleeping bag, backpack of esentials, and lose yourself. Go get a slice of pie in the big apple, lobster in Maine, visit dc for a day, find a southern belle, grab some Texas BBQ, pacific coast highway north, head through the mountains east and head home.
A few months of a ride. Stories to tell your grandkids forever. What would be involved? Maybe 300-400 miles a day for a few, camp overnight and once every 2 or 3 days get a motel, sh** shower and shave do some laundry and be on your way again for a while. I'm not sure if this is totally a crack pipe idea/dream or possible.
Anybody ever do something like this? It'd be fun to play goldwing for 10k miles...

but then again that's what makes the trip so much more of an adventure. I've never been coast to coast but have rode to the coast and then some...
I prefer to break the trips up a bit. 4 days of 400+ days on a Busa is physically demanding. The longer you are away from home, the more planning and prep work you need to do (like the bug said, that's the hard part). I think its more fun to do 4 one week trips than it is to do 1 four week trip. My $0.02
