One Mission I really wish I was on ! Article: Bikers descended on the town of Newtown yesterday and linked arms blocking the hate group protesters of Westboro Baptist Church from disrupting the funerals. "More than 100 riders from New York and Massachusetts, organized by the anti-Westboro group Patriot Guard Riders, were also in Connecticut on Wednesday to show their support, Patch reported. The lined the streets arm in arm." “All these guys see us and think we’re bad. We’re not. It’s solidarity, is what it is,” New York native Jim Hannigan told Newtown Patch. “I just felt I had to be here.” Source and Photo by Newton Patch.

We’re starting the count down and getting excited. Friday around noon we head out on a two-week tour. Heading East State side to Maine then north to Cape Breton around the Cabot Trail, west to the Gaspe Peninsula then homeward bound through Quebec. So if you see a pair of Yamaha’s give a wave and a honk, we’ll stop for a chat, coffee, etc… P.S. The girl on the red one still has a big smile. Pearle whites will give us away. We decided to bring our camping gear just in case, we’re bringing our Dog with us. Between pet friendly hotels and camping we should be okay. None of our stops are planned, so hopefully we don’t run into an area that’s all booked up. Today we bought a t-bag dog carrier let you know how that works out. Funny watching her poke her head out the top to look around. Wish us good roads, fair weather, and a safe trip. Thanks

Hi Guys! Pretty much my idea of camping on bike trips has been to find a motel room which is a least clean, has a fairly comfortable bed, and a shower. This past summer, we were on the road for about three weeks, and the cost of motel camping (even in fairly inexpensive places) really added up. This year, we have a trailer to pull behind the bike. It has the room to pack a fair amount of stuff – at least a tent and a couple of sleeping bags & pads. Both my wife and I are in our late 40s, so we’re not so young anymore. We’re also really not all that much in to roughing it. But if we can spend more time on the road this summer and not have to use all of our funds on motels, then perhaps we can learn to like a new option. Maybe we can use this as an option to supplement our motel camping. I just don’t want our summer riding ventures to look like episodes from a bad sitcom. If we do attempt this, I know enough to assure that we have quality equipment. But, I am a little apprehensive. I like simple pleasures like comfort and showers and beds. But, I seem to think that if we can be comfortable enough, we might be able to do this. Have any of you tried this? How did it work out? I’m sure that there are enough stories from those who have tried this to make for some interesting conversation. So let’s open this can o’ worms and hear what your experiences were like. Thanks! Pete.
