That was a very enjoyable read and confirms to me that, despite its many faults, the United States is a magnificent country.

Although I don't ride (a bike), a journey like that is, to me, what biking is all about.

Do it when you're young - don't wait :y because when you get to my age, many will sit and wonder what may have been had they followed their inclinations. ;D ;D :(

its something i would like to do one day, i've asked him how much it cost to ship bike over

Would it not work out a hell of a lot cheaper just to hire a bike whilt over there.

I know it's not the same as riding your own, but if yours was damaged in transit then you would have hire whilst there anyway.

Doubt it, i've looked at ones in Spain where they lend you a fully loaded GS, its 500EUR just for 7 days...
