Half the fun of taking a motorcycle trip is planning. Seriously. This trip across country, in particular, required a couple of years. We have and will continue to spend hours talking about what we want this trip to be like. It’s important to have a shared vision. In a nutshell, we want to enjoy the natural beauty of the USA, without hurrying or being overwhelmed with things to do. We keep coming back to that vision as we find yet another beautiful road or monument or valley.
