I might try it this summer

EXCELLENT ADVICE !!

Unquestionably you can carry what you need on the bike. I have packed up everything I needed to go on that exact trip, alone, and then took the trip.

I got onto Route 66 outside Chicago, after riding there from Toronto. It was a very interesting trip. I was planning to go all the way to LA, but got sidetracked with someone when I reached Oklahoma City and as my vacation time diminished I had to look at return instead of continuing onward and westward.

Thanks!

You have a reason to complete the trip some day.

I don't know the route between OKC and LA, but it almost has to go through New Mexico. There is some stupendous riding in NM, twisty mountain roads with spectacular scenery. It is dangerous to even notice the scenery because even glancing at it made me not want to keep my eyes on the road.
