I really don't plan at all anymore, (cause the plans always change anyway). We just head off in the general direction, putt along at a leisurely pace, and try to enjoy, but then, we're retired.

"I suggest you take your bike to a dealership, tell them you are about to make a trip"

You'll be broke before the trip starts........
