Well I'll be taking off to head from NorCal to Dallas for another school year. Since I really want my bike at school with me, I'm going to ride down. What I've been thinking is the scenic route through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and so forth. Somebody brought up the point of since there are alot of remote stretches, I might get into trouble if I break down. The bike is at 47000 miles, and I've put 6K on this summer. I have a new set of tires, fresh oil, and my chain and sprocket seem to be fine. The bike hasn't let me down yet, and I really want to camp out along the way and turn the trip into more of an adventure ride. The alternative would be to slabside it across the interstates through LA, Tucson (both places I know people) and across Texas. I've driven this route in a car, and its terrible in August. (98 degrees at 2am!!!) Anybody care to weigh in?
Here is a link to the route I was planning on taking.
