Loop around the Continental Unites States

[red1100cc]

i am in the beginning stages of planning a ride around the Continental Unites States.
shoe string budget, not much time to play tourist. Have any of you ridden a Loop around the Continental Unites States?

here is the 1st map i have put together plotting the course.

Get off of I95 on the east coast, it sucks.
Get on rt 29, there's ALOT less traffic and it's much more scenic.
The 2 roads aren't that far apart either.
I've been through 40 states in a tractor trailer too(and alot of your planned route), but never had the chance on a bike...yet

Hey! You missed my state-how 'bout heading north thru Michigan and across the U.P. to Wisconsin/Minnesota??? God's Country up there.

Let me know when you come through the Coeur d' alene Idaho - Spokane Washington area I would like to meet up. I would also like to do a loop through the us. Just to say I have seen it.

Your stop at 8th avenue in San Diego is not even 5 miles from Lamb's house.

Lamb is gonna start taking it personal when people travel across the country and don't call me.

You are free to stay here and food would be free too.!!

Might as well do this while you're at it! I could never find any Busas in the list of completions, so you might be the first. I was hoping to do it, but gotta build up enough vacation time first.

$100 ! some fella wants ME to pay HIM, for a pat on the back?!?! ??? i never have understood stuff like that. same reason i'm not a paid member of the IBA. i just don't get it.

i guess if my sponsors wanted me to be the 1st Hayabusa to finish, i would. heck it's their buck. but i don't see wasting 800mi worth of gas money, for someone else to do my paperwork and give me an "atta boy!".

And if you are going to do the left coast - you need to take hwy 101 (coast highway). It will take longer, but it's one of the most wonderful roads in the country.

 

[mistaforty]

[t5stang91]
