Kentucky or Bust
I am leaving from Alaska for Kentucky on my BMW motorcycle.
The trip is 4080 miles of winding roads and motorhomes.
I went to the post office this morning for my passport thinking it was necessary since I will be passing through Canada. The postmaster informed me that, at this time, a passport is not required, all that was needed is a birth certificate and a drivers license. But I did get a good photo for the grand price of 15$. Apparently we don't need a passport until January 2008, wish someone had told me. She also said that the deadline would probably be extended because of the number of persons applying which they can't process at this time.
So, my plan is to leave next weekend after I get the leak on my left front fork repaired. I want to leave today, but am not sure it would be wise, would hate to breakdown in the middle of nowhere.
I reached my 50th birthday in July and I hope that my body will not fail, its been a very long time since any long bike trips were done. I think it was back in '93 when I last did long distance on a bike.
Anyway, I am excited and anticipate a good trip.
