Take up racing. Seriously.

Cruise the street, rip up the woods, shred the track.

The only reason I want a street bike again is to chill with my friends.

I was watching long way round with ebbs and just felt that type of riding is something I would enjoy tremedously. I have always loved traveling to new places more than actually being there. That's what I hate about flying commercial. The travel is gone. It would also open up new goals in my riding.
I fully understand. There are times when I'd love to strap on the tail and saddlebags and just head out. This country is huge, and there are so many places that are absolutely amazing. Both Long Way Around and Long Way Down were amazing. Don't know if I could rough it like they did, but it'd be fun trying in my own way.

My uncle turns 90 in August. He lives in Somesville, ME, just outside of Bar Barbor on Mt. Desert Island. Most of the island is the home of Acadia National Park. I'd love to ride up to his party on the 8th, and then ride back home. That would be a neat trip.

Yeah, that would be great. I want to get up to nova scotia too.
