Trip 2 – Wind, cold, rain, snow, sun and ice…
So here we go, a winter motorcycle trip on my $200 motorcycle named ‘Connie’. I didn’t know where I was going or where it would lead but the first plan was to head North on the West coast from Long Beach California. Like trip 1, I’d sleep in a tent, carry my own supplies, ride [...]

Journey #2 Begins – Heading North
Here are a few videos from the start of trip #2 on Connie, the 1989 Kawasaki EX500 I bought for $200 and drove across the United States. I’m heading north from Long Beach, CA with no particular destination in mind. The weather looks like it might get kind of nasty — should be quite an [...]

A New Adventure Begins (Trip #2)
Today I walked up to Connie (the $200 1989 Kawasaki EX500 that got me from Long Beach, NY to Long Beach, CA) and she started right up after sitting idle outside for many weeks. It was as if she was waiting for the next journey to begin. With that, I went down to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and registered the bike in the state of California so we're good to go.

Introduction to the Trip
Posted on 23 December 2008
The plan was simple; I was going to ride from Long Beach New York to Long Beach Los Angeles, cheaply and alone. I wanted to prove that you didn’t need the latest bike or accessories in able to have an adventure of a lifetime and of course, do it with the freedom of 2 wheels. I was also going to try and raise some money for ‘Riders for Health’, if I could achieve all that while discovering parts of America that would be more than wonderful. Continue Reading
