Kid Guzzi looks to the Plains

With each passing day I look more forward to my upcoming trip to eastern Nebraska aboard the sturdy back of my 2009 Moto Guzzi Stelvio. There's nothing I have experienced quite like long trips on a motorcycle. It's wholly different than the much more isolated feeling of driving a car. Sights, sounds, smells that you never notice in a car are experienced and enjoyed verily so on a bike. People tend to stop and talk to you more as well, especially if you have a wicked cool Moto Guzzi. I plan to make the ride to the Omaha area in two days, the good Lord and my old carcass willing. The trip is about 1500 miles, so roughly 700-800 miles per day. Looking forward to seeing some friends and family I have not seen for a few years and maybe tip a pint or two with them. I will be there for a few days and ride back home to Florida via Memphis, so I can stop at Elvis Presley's GRACELAND! Kind of an approximate route below. I haven't yet determined the final route.

Independence Day Sunrise at Ormond Beach

Up and at it early on the Independence Day holiday to catch the sunrise at Ormond beach and then take a nice 8.5 mile hoof along coastal A1A. Always a beautiful view of the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Ran into a fella there (Vietnam Veteran and ex-Chrysler employee for 30+ years) with a neat 1991 Mercury Capri convertible. He says he has 3 of them! Pretty rare to see those nowadays.

Aboard the Stelvio

Out and about aboard the Stelvio yesterday. The heat was fairly oppressive. My digital thermometer showed 99 at one point.
