jumping straight on a bike for a road trip is pretty stupid hooper ... i'm sure you are just teasing us and HAVE ridden before because nobody who wanted to live long would just get on a bike and take a roadtrip ...
I only got a few days into the course I was taking and had to postpone it last year ... 3 days was enough to show me that I got a lot more learning to do before i'm travelling far on the road.
I rode an old harley for one of my training days - it was huge, heavy as hell - 1400 so probably good for the open roads, but pretty shitty to try to ride through traffic lights and stop signs - the bike was so heavy i could barely stand up.
The idea of riding a bike a long distance is way more romantic than the reality ... sitting on the back (or front!) of those things for a few hours is hell on the ass.
hooper, you have learned how to ride safely ... haven't you?
