The Bike
I am riding a 2006 Triumph Bonneville to all 50 states and up through Canada. I bought this bike used with 20,000 miles on it and the stock exhaust has been upgraded. I have added to it a rear-rack for luggage, a bash plate (as I plan to hit some dirt and venture away from tarmac from time to time). I also had to raise the handlebars and have a few more mods before the departure.
I am re-purposing the windshield my father got me for my 1982 Virago as a gift before we hit the road for our 4-corners ride that I did one
summer with my father and mother. I have also sketched out a map along the bottom side of the shield to track my adventure.
I am big on going where people say certain bikes cannot go, now I won’t be climbing mountains but I will be hitting dirt tracks back into the forest for that perfect camping spot to wake up to only the sounds of birds, no traffic, no city noise… just bliss.
