Default Long Road Trip....8000 Miles

Leaving tomorrow on my longest road trip....12000Km(8000 miles) from home to visit family in the Canadian prairies....and back... Just me and the Road King..
Plan on taking a month overall - including visits. Really excited and "think" I have all the bases covered but who knows....I'll take it as it comes.

I'll be in 7 Canadian provinces and 5 US states....

Hope the weather holds.....

I had to look up St Johns just now. You can't get much more 'east' than that! Have a great ride!

Wow, that's sounds fantastic.

I wish I had a month to take of riding like that.

Oh, and a Road King as well!

Cheers. Ride safe!

Thanks everyone...As I said, I'm really hyped for the trip.

And yeah Stiggy... I'm a Canadian on a rock in the middle of the Atlantic - the most easterly point in North America.....I can almost fly to Europe quicker than I can fly to NYC or Toronto. But man...we've got some great riding here too....amazing scenery.
