When we started to consider crossing of the USA by Harley Davidson motorcycles, and more recently began planning this trip, we knew we were going to have an adventure, something really special. We hoped it would be worth sharing with family and friends, and that's why we set up this blog.
At times, after a long day, it was a bit of an effort to do the daily blog entry, but it was a good way to consolidate the events of the day, and the "bedtime story" ritual became an event in itself.
Craig's last post summarises the experience of motorcycle touring so well. We have had so many good experiences that it is impossible to restrict the list of highlights to a manageable number.
We have met many lovely people; visited and stayed in wonderful places; had superb weather - just one day of rain; and travelled some spectacular roads. Above all, the best thing has been sharing the journey and the experiences with good friends.
It has been great fun. We hope you have enjoyed the blog.
Now it's time to get back to (I won't say "reality") our normal routines, and time to get planning!
Thanks for looking in.
All the best,
Stuart and Sylvia
