Yeah that's the nice thing (as if there's only one :lol:) about being single... I can leave pretty much any day I want... with only work to clear it with.
Slab sucks... but it's 1000x worse when you don't have someone to ride with IMO... riding up to Trip's (Knoxville) from Rae's (Ft Walton Beach) was all slab... but it was awesome to just shoot the shit at the gas stops... though it killed our travel time... 9hr trip took 12.5 :lol:

Oh please, im attached and I can do the same thing! :lol:
And true, having someone to ride with makes a world of difference, and stopping at all the lil random scenic places or "just because" is friggin awesome.
The only exception would be gas shortages, and 5-7 hour trips that turn into 12! :lol: But I wouldnt change a thing!

Just thinking about it makes my ass hurt. :lol:

Ya know, coming back from Indy by myself wasnt nearly as bad as youd think. Everyone else split off in Louisville, and altho I was sad to leave them, just crossing the country and thru the cities by myself was pretty nifty too. I gave friends my locations and plans, with text updates, and explored lil pieces of the world. I can be kind of a loner tho, i guess. :idk: There was one lil town, before nashville, WAAAAAAYYYY off the interstate, name looked interesting, so i went to check it out. A tiny lil town, complete with an old timey drug store and town square was there for me to explore and rest. I even met a few friendly locals, like the town judge as I was gearing back up. He saw me, was a fellow rider and came over to say hi!
*and after the first 1500 miles ya cant feel a thing! * :wink:
