I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down, Dave.

I think with the amount of ground I'll be covering, no matter what speed I'm rolling at, every mile will be memorable.

The thing is, the slabs will suck...like 75 up to ATL for example...I might not savor those moments as much as say, Cherohala Skwy or even Tail of the Dragon.
I likely won't cherish "moments" per se, rather large portions of this trip. I will cherish each day for what it has offered to me and in that, the experiences I will carry with me until my day's end.

I was talking to a guy that lives near DC, Kevin (WRAITH1027 on FZ1OA), who's hooking me up with a spot for an oil change and a place to stay. He, like many here and elsewhere, also mentioned taking it easy so I could do the things I planned on for this trip. The thing is, this trip, if there were an actual "plan" and even so, if I miss one thing it's because I've gone off to appreciate another.
I highly doubt, once I return to NH, I'll have a feeling like I've "missed" something if anything.

If it's not the bike, it's the roads. If it's not the roads, it's the people along the way. If it's not the people, it's the places I get to see. If it's not the places, it's the journey itself. It'll all fill itself in in one way or another.

My karma is in good standing and no matter what happens, be it good or bad, this is going to be one hell of a trip. I'm so very fortunate to have this opportunity it's overwhelming. My eyes fill with tears of joy just thinking how lucky I am to be able to do this and how financially stupid it is. I don't really care about the latter quite honestly. I'm here now, today...that's what I'm living for.
