@ backofbeyond - Thanks for the window and personal insight into your past; there's a lot of wise words and perspective in what you say.

Talking of perspective. I've recently been browsing through a copy of: Around the World on a Motorcycle, 1928 to 1936 - by Zoltan Sulkowsky

A real ground-breaking adventure back in those days, surely? .. especially on a (between wars) m/c combination. Before any motorcycle overlanding 'Golden Age'.

Too much perspective!

I guess its subjective.Better times does not mean better trips.

The old addage, If I was 22 and knew what I knew now....... :scooter:

I was lucky enough to ride up, down, up and across the USA last may/June, for 8500 miles in 31 days. Lucky because Bennetts Bike Insurance paid for it. (Biker Dreams).
Despite having a GSa here in the UK, I doubt I would have chosen the USA for such a big self financed trip. I am glad I went, and really enjoyed it, it has changed my life and made further long trips even more of a Bucket List'er. (Choices would include a re-run as the states was really good, and very big).

I would go NOW, if i had the budget and the MRS SAID YES (optional). One thing is certain peeps.

DO IT B4 U Die

no matter how extensive the plan. STOP PLANNING go.

search '33 manchesters' or Unitedstatesofamanchester for more.
