We named our bike Trixy, cuz she is tricky. Trixy is a BMW K1600 GT touring bike. But even though she’s labeled a touring bike, she is quick and nimble. It’s easy to go fast on her and she can take off like a bat out of hell when she needs to (and sometimes just because Hank wants her to). Isn’t she so purdy?
So here’s the “grand plan” for our cross country trip. Of course, mother nature and fate may have different plans for us along the way. So this is subject to revision at a moment’s notice.
A couple of notes.
1. As of 4/17, we haven’t planned our route to Ft. Worth.
2. We are deliberately not planning our route past Duluth, MN. We want to see how we feel at that point.
We are so jazzed. Three weeks seems like so long. Let’s go now!
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.
