A few weeks ago on MotoChat (a weekly Twitter chat on Wed at 1pm PT) we discussed “Adventure Motorcycling”. It was a great topic that caused lots of conversation and points of view. Last night it dawned on me that an adventure is simply that, “an adventure”. The thought of the unknown, no matter how much planning you do. That’s the secret to an adventure! That’s what causes the excitement and thrill. That’s what makes butterflies in your stomach when you think about the adventure your about to embark on. That’s what causes people to worry about you and it’s the reason why you do it! So why did all this come to my mind last night? Well I’m about to take a trip across America that will take me on the same roads of Louis and Clarke and through 3 of the most beautiful National parks in our country; the Bad lands, Black Hills and Yellow Stone. On the way home I’ll finally ride my Harley through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. If that isn’t an adventure in your book, then perhaps you need to plan a trip of the “unknown” variety! ;)
