Here is the short of it:

I am embarking on a cross country ride on my motorcycle.

I leave this morning and will be out there for two weeks? More? Who knows.

I hope you'll follow along as well, as this will be my first attempt at a live update blog style ride report. (I will be doing updates on Facebook and advrider.com . My name is Kevin Rozman for FB. )

So, join me as I set off from Ohio to the West Coast!

Let the adventure begin!

Trip thread

I am writing this from Denny's 6 miles away from Leguna Seca =) Trying to keep updates up to date, but travelling and trying to cover ground as well as finding camping and food while tryin to find WIFI to update is a tricky thing to balance.

But i did get another bit up, pictures to follow.

Hey CarKid---- I"m not sure if you know, but just one week from now the massive Monterey Historics Week will be taking place. If you stick around the area for a few more days, you'll see some of the most valuable and amazing machines in the world. Not sure what your schedule is like---- but you are a week away from a bucket-list type series of events!

I will have to miss that unfortunately. Typing this, I am almost into Oregon. However, that woulda been a neat event for sure!

THANKS for the suggestion!

Working through the second page of your adventure write up. Great job capturing all the human interactions along the way that make a trip awesome. Pictures and places are one thing but that is what really makes me want to keep reading.

Glad you made it back safely. Thanks for sharing a trip that others only dream about making. A trip like that teaches you that #1)-it's still a great country, with great people, despite what the news tells you #2) Realizing that you own capabilities can be limitless. #3- It's life changing! Now, what do you think about doing the Scooter Cannonball in 2018?

Great job on the write up. Looks like a great way to see America.

Part of me would love to do a trip like that, though I would probably do it in a car. I don't think the Katana would be a good choice for cross country.

You'll need to log in to post.
