Greetings all,
This will be a report from the road with updates as I ride across USA and return. I am riding my 94 K1100LT.
I left my domicile this morning, just south of Richmond, VA heading for Knoxville, TN a ride of approximately 470 miles.
My spouse flew to LA, CA yesterday to visit daughter and grand-daughter and we will all meet in Los Olivos, CA on Apr 27th.
I will zip across USA on I-40 with no sight-seeing or meandering on the way, that will be reserved for the ride home.
After a week in Los Olivos my spouse and I will ride north to Olympic Nat'l Park in Washington state and spend several days there.
My spouse will fly back to Virginia on 12 May, I will point my scoot east and plan to ride home on secondary roads avoiding all Interstates.
The ride thus far was horrible! Rain, rain and more rain accompanied by gusting winds and crummy visibility. The inclement weather added nearly 2 hours to the ride but all went well. I was properly attired and remained warm and dry for duration of ride.
I only took one picture today because weather was not the best for picture taking.
I always travel with a motorcycle cover, it's worth the hassle on days like today.
so picture #1 is the end of day 1 from the hotel parking lot in Knoxville, TN.
