Trip Tracker Added

I finally got my Trip Tracker Map translated to my new site. With it, you can see the path I took on my previous Motorcycle Trip to Washington, D.C. three years ago. Maybe someday I'll have some new treks to track, but until then, you can see the only past one by clicking on the map thumbnail below.

I did Finish it

I realize I never finished my series of completing my custom guitar project, Sable. Rest assured, I did finish the project and the guitar has seen some heavy use with my band, DEWar. I have attached some additional pictures of the construction process as well as some of the finished product in use.

Trip Wrap Up

3476 Miles
11 States
1 ticket (yes I got nabbed for one)

Well, I have had a chance to rest a bit and am here to give a wrap up on my recent trip. I almost made it the whole way without a ticket, but I saw more cops on the road between the Texas/Louisiana Border and Houston than I saw on my whole trip and one of them got me just outside of Nacogdoches. Defensive driving, here I come.. ;o)

I'm Home

I made it. Will post soon a recap and my ponderings/observations/etc. on the trip once i get a chance to settle in a bit. But just wanted to let everyone know that I am back at home, safe and sound!

Lunch Stop

Just pass Shreveport, LA now with a quick bite to eat. Blue skies the whole way but wind has picked up quite a bit. Hope it settles down a bit.

The Last Leg

Looks like the weather will be on my side today! YIPPEE!! According to the radar, looks like all the rain has moved through my area and it should be clear from here to Houston. I am taking the route via Shreveport, LA back over to 59 and down to Houston. There is still rain down Baton Rouge way and I just don't want to ride I-10 anyhow! hehe

So just need to get packed up. Get some gas and I'll be on my way.

1000 Miles on The Dragon

Remember my post about the guy on The Dragon doing the 24 hour run? Well a board I frequent is talking about it. Apparently he completed it.

You can read about it HERE.

That's It for Today

Although it is no longer raining on me here in Clinton just past Jackson, I am so water logged and rather sick of riding today that I decided to go ahead and stop. I was hoping I could make it a bit further, but felt it best to stop and dry out and warm up. Tomorrow will just have to be a longer day. Looks like I should be somewhat drier for the last leg.

I'm Off Again

Another slow start this morning. Not looking forward to the rain. It's dry right now but I'm definitely heading for it. Better get out while the gettings good. Talk to you soon!
