Frikkin' punk kids and their cheap UJMs

[bonanzadave]

Thats what they called it over at Jeffs (8tracks) web site. Its actually a loooong story at Adventure Rider about some dudes that went for a looooong ride.

I found it almost captivating....Quite the adventure !

Geeze, I should try that.

Having a natural mechanic for a riding buddy, can't be beat!

Man I would love to ride cross country with a group of friends on cheap bikes. But unfortunately, I dont have any good friends like that.

[RobC]

That would be incredible to do.

From a couple of smaller bike trips and some longer 4x4 trips my friends and I have made, they decided a long time ago that if I can't make the trip they just wont go. From repairing a tie rod with a jack handle, two batteries and some clothes hangers, to repairing a broken throttle cable in a parking lot with just a swedge,pliers, and a knife, I've never been left stranded but always seemed to make it home even if I'm having to limp there.

Just spent the last 3 hours reading thru 22+ pages. Excelent story

Wow

From a UK perspective, this slams it home that america is a big and fantastic place.
Generally, we only get to see the tourist/media selected bits, that often paint your wonderfull country in a less favourable light.

My hat goes off to these guys, and I'm a little jealous, of lost youth and missed opportunities.

You could do this in the UK, but it would only take 6 days, and would rain all the way!!!

You forgot to mention your lovely police cameras too!

These are some smart guys!

"My dad is a physicist at the particle accelerator, my mom is a geneticist, both have their Ph.Ds in their respective fields. I'm working on a Biological engineering degree, my brother is going to grad school at Penn State for electrical materials (he has a degree in Applied Engineering Physics). The other guys in the group are also engineers."

I just finished reading all 29 pages. What a trip. One they will always remember.

Now I want to go!

that is an amazing story and journey, those kids are all my age me being 21 and i have never thought of touring. The longest trip i've done is from the western shore of maryland to the eastern shore. This summer my buds and I are doin a skyline drive weekend, but this just shoots our plans down

Ideas are cropping up in my head. Excellent Ideas.
