Duck,
If everyone rode a Puch, no problem with a new cylinder and piston kit, i have about 75 brand new still in the box!! I am not sure what bike i would take? probably a Tomos Targa LX?
Duck, i don`t want so sound like an ass or a jerk or anything, but i would hope everyone that signs on to this idea, starts out on a bike that is in the best possible condition! I am not saying it has to be a brand new bike but it should be in perfect mechanical condition! And you are right, i wouldn`t want to have a major break down and cause everyone to have to wait for me to get it fixed! I guess i would just sell the bike to the first person i see, and get on a Greyhound headed North!!Another thing to think about is the speed the bike can cruise at comfortably. If i am riding a bike that only runs 25mph wide open, and everyone else has a bike that will cruise all day at 30, then i will have to run my bike wide open and still not keep up. Wide open throttle for very long and i will be sitting along side the road!!!
Yes guys, this trip will require very serious and detailed planning! This is why i want to wait until next summer. This trip can`t be planned 5 minutes!
I am willing to listen to any ideas anyone has on this, so keepem coming!!!
Ike
