That trip was epic. Much better than I expected. Second only to my Alaska trip.
It's all about the journey, not the destination.
That's how you see the United States. The Lincoln Highway takes you through all the small towns. Route 66 is greatly overrated if you ask me.

That's quite an accomplishment on ONE motorcycle!

I've been to all 50 states (rented a bike in HI) and most Canadian provinces through the years via several bikes and ONE trike.

The most northern point that I did in AK was Fairbanks in 2000, while riding my '00 UC and towing a small cargo trailer.

I'm intrigued by the Rt 50 "Loneliest Road" in the U.S., especially though Nevada.
I may give it a shot someday just to say I've done it!

For the summer of 2024, the "plan" at this time is a H-D Poker Chip run to all of the dealerships in Pennsylvania.

Very impressive Dave!

sw tracker is an app that works with IPhones. Bubbler is the app for android.

Here is a site by the creator of SWTracker https://rvtechtools.com/swtracker.html

Thanks for sharing. That is really cool. Quite the accomplishment and many great memories I’m sure. Have you been down in southern Florida and into the keys?

Very Cool. Was this all in one year or is it a couple of years? How about miles ridden?

Awesome. I do have questions on swtracker, is it really bad on phone battery ? Does the app have to be always on or can it just run in the background ?

iirc it's pretty battery intensive.

I also have a Spot tracker though that uploads to Spotwalla. Probably better suited and not near as impacted by batteries as the phone.
