It's My Bike!
This may be my dumbest idea yet so I figured I'd get the sound opinion of the forum :thumbup:
My son will be coming home on leave from Afghanistan in early September and wants me to come down to visit. I could be normal and book an airline reservation.......car is out because I'm not sure it would make it.......but I'm considering taking the FZ. I have never ridden this far and doubt I could get anyone to make the trip with me since I will be gone for over a week. My idea is that I would make the trip over two days (probably weekends to avoid road construction) and maybe post my route and see if I could get forum members to ride with me at different points.
Here are my concerns:
1. Any mechanical problem with the bike would leave me stranded and alone - including a flat tire.
2. Could I do it physically?
3. Should I really travel alone?
4. How will I feel about the ride back?
I did the trip by car once and it wasn't too bad - I-90 through NY will probably be the busiest and worse section. Then again, last time I did it I had my daughter with me to keep me company.
Here is the first proposed route:
Driving Directions from Albany, NY to Hopkinsville, KY
What do you think?
