Oh yeah, we have done this before! And even though CVStar said she might never take another roadtrip with us again after the last cross country motorcycle trip in 2006 (see: Wheelin', Squealin' & Clueless at http://wheemedriving.blogspot.com/), we are all drawn to do another trip together.
This one is planned for the summer of 2008 and is in response to BMRPop's interest in the Southern California Motorcycle Association's Four Corners Challenge (see: SSCMA 4 corners website ). The challenge is to get to the four extreme corners of the USA within 21 days. There are specific tasks to complete in each corner confirming your presence within the 21 days. We can choose the route, and although most riders complete the trip as a rectangle, we have chosen a figure 8 across the US. Not only does it allow us to ride through as many states as possible, but it is also an interesting image, the infinity sign layered across the map on the wall. And yes, the maps are back up on the wall--across three walls actually! This is a BIG trip!
Unlike the first trip, on this one we hope to ride for a cause. CVStar's move to Baton Rouge Louisiana last year really highlighted for us the needs that continue in New Orleans, and the hard work that many agencies have organized to help with the rebuilding of that special city. We are in the process of investigating a partnership with one or more of these agencies, to highlight their work and allow them to use us for publicity as we make our month long trip across the US. We are excited about the prospect of being able to make a difference with our ride. In addition, we would also like to find commercial sponsors to help with our expenses along the way, perhaps a gas company or hotel company will support our ride and the agency we will be supporting.
