I'm riding a BMW 1150 GSA. My first bike was a 1978 Honda CX500 which I rode exclusively in my early 20's. After 2.5 decades of hell on four wheels I finally got another bike in December of 2015. Riding non-stop since, I decided to stretch my wings and rode to New Hampshire then up to Maine, then rode 1023 miles in 21 hours from Acadia back home. The 4 AM thunderous and lightening filled torrential down pore only added to my "Bat out of Hell," Meatloaf lust for life and didn't stop me one bit. The bike was a champ and I remained dry as a scorpion in the desert sun. Only now have I heard of the Iron Butt! But who needs patches? "We don't need no stink'n patches!" Be that as it may... I'm planning on one more trip this summer, 1500 miles in 36 hours, before I have to get serious on my new career path. I want to hit Savannah, Georgia and back. If there are any serious riders out here who want to do the same trip or similar ... give me a heads up. I hear there's a great oyster bar there named "Sorry Charlie's Oyster Bar" and a great pier called "Tybee Beach Pier and Pavilion." If anyone asks, why the trip... the obvious answer is, "I'm hungry for some oysters." Look me up if you want to go. ~Fin
