Woke up early, went for my morning waking-up shower, packed everything, and rode downtown to take some picture of Savannah, which I had not seen that much the night before, thanks to focusing on drinking without eating much 🙂 Savannah is definitely a nice little town, with quite some charm. However, I had to realize that today […]

Day 20: Thursday, Nov. 10 – Gastonia to Savannah, SC
Waking up early, and breakfast not being included at the Budget Inn, I was ready to go around 8:30am, and heading toward Charlotte, my GPS warned twice about some traffic jam, so I realized I might just be riding during the morning rush hour. I had not really done my homework about what was to be seen […]
Day 19: Wednesday, Nov. 9 – Nashville to Gastonia, NC
Day 18: Tuesday, Nov. 8 – Memphis to Nashville
Day started with the usual camper morning routine: wake up, shower, oatmeal, packing, leaving. The guy that had parked his car (and slept in it) on the tent site besides me at night – and then moved to the following site after I started my little campfire, I guess he didn’t like fires (or smoke) – had […]
Day 17: Monday, Nov. 7 – Branson to Memphis, TN
Chatted with two older women – one with a strong accent I could barely understand – that were leaving the motel at the same time I was packing stuff on the bike. Just the usual chit-chat, ending with ride safe. It’s funny how many people are curious and wondered about this trip I’m doing. Obviously it’s […]
Day 16: Sunday, Nov. 6 – Oklahoma City to Branson, MO
So the goal for this day was to go more or less half the way to Memphis. I had the option to stop at a campground in a small city south of the I-40, and I had thought of Mena, AK initially, but on a stop at a gas station yesterday, an older woman had […]
Day 15: Saturday, Nov. 5 – Amarillo to Oklahoma City, OK
I forgot to mention in my last post the impressive number of wind turbine before and after Amarillo. The following picture doesn’t do it justice, but I think they are in the 2-3 hundred range – at least the ones I saw – spread on different areas, often inlined with one another, but still turning at different speed. […]
Day 14: Friday, Nov. 4 – Albuquerque to Amarillo, TX
The trip between Albuquerque and Amarillo, mostly on the I-40, was totally boring and uneventful. I left Albuquerque in the morning with a light rain starting, and saw the cloud following me as I was riding toward Amarillo, but never catching me, for my luck. Not much more to be said, plain boring 🙂 I […]
Day 13: Thursday, Nov. 3 – Old Albuquerque & Music With Friends
So, I started the day bringing the bike to R&S Honda Polaris, which seemed the dealership with the best reviews among two in Albuquerque. Martin, the service manager received me friendly and understanding the time constraint set everything for my bike to get not the basic service – which should have been done around 4000 […]
Day 12: Wednesday, Nov. 2 – Bluff to Albuquerque, NM
So once more, I packed my stuff, loaded everything on the bike, and from the Cadillac Ranch RV Park in Bluff, I rode this time to Four Corners, for a start. Little roads, some twisties, the ride was nice, despite the fact the desert landscapes were starting to get me a little bored (too much of good things, […]
