Default Lets Play

Zoe is my Grandaughter and just turned 21, her boyfriend is Ben, He rides an 883 fitted with a 4.5 gallon tank. They left out of Portland Or about 15min ago headed for Miami. If you see them, please share the road and wish them well.
I got this idea in my head, so here it is. Anyone that posts up a picture of them, I will donate $20.00 to the Wounded Warriors up to a max of $1000.00. Sounds simple enough, Lets play!

Two up on an 883 Portland to Miami will be an adventure.
Keep us updated on their progress so we can look for them.
WW is a great charity.

If I see them I'll offer a pizza dinner, place to camp/stay, place to do an oil change etc. Then I'll match your $20 donation

Kudos to you for a great idea and contribution. If that crazy couple sporting across country on an 883 without even a shield happens by Mayberry let me know when to expect them and I will share what I have with them, including a place to stay, shower, eat, whatever. Just let me know when/if. You da man!!!!

You need to post route and loose schedule. Also, their contact No (cell phone) to
arrange meeting.


If they are going to pass through Nashville we'll put 'em up for the night with BBQ on the grill and match your $20. I've done several events for WW and it has been very gratifying.

You Guys are great. they are running I84 to Denver right now, I will post daily with each leg of their trip. I am very excited for them, Ben rode out from Miami and has been in college here and met Zoe, this is her first trip out of town on the bike.

If they're in the DFW area, I'll swing for dinner, a tank of gas and match the donation. They can camp out here and use the shower and laundry facilities if needed.
