    2020 Journey's of epic proportions brought to you by Jedz Moto

    Greetings all!!!

    So Big trips are in the works. My goal is to see as many GSR folks as I can this year. Hoping to reconnect with some but meet new as well! I also will be seeing some of my followers, fellow YouTubers, pod casters and family on this epic trip... Planning to take the Bonneville and live off of it. If guys have made it work with smaller bikes in years past than I shouldn't have any issues with my 1200cc modern classic. Just to reach my destinations this year I am budgeting 10-12K miles. Here is the Map of just where I'm projected to go (paths of travel will be different and not everything since you can only enter so many things into Google Maps).


    So clearly I'm not riding now but taking the time to prep the bike for living off of it... I will be installing 2 Givi hard side cases, my Kappa top case and I also now have dry bag to keep other essentials dry. Going to be interesting for I do intend to camp allot to really capture what it's like to live off the road and out of the bike.

    March - I head to Florida
    April - Hoping to start my daily commuting and annual riding in Vermont(Rides in my neck of the woods)
    June - I do the crazy loop around the Country
    July - I head into Canada and western NY
    August - (Traveling Picnic maybe)
    September - NE GSR GMR
    October - up in the air..
    November - Wrap up the season and store the bikes.

    I'll write up some posts referring to the details of each planned ride, June is going to be epic... Here is just the outline map for June:


    But I have tagged some GSR members I am Facebook friends with with on the trip. I also have reached out via text or phone to get plans in motion.

    So I'm looking to be on par for a 40K mile season maybe more. I have never had this many trips lined up but next year Shan and I are going to be lazer focused on paying off our house. This year she is going to be flying into Florida, New Mexico and riding with me to Montreal. So It will be nice to share some of the experience together. So I'll be doing much less miles next year as I will be far more frugal. However I will officially cross a big item off my bucket list.

    Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing some of you on my journey. I'll do my best to see as many folks as I can.

    Hope everyone has an awesome year!!

                  Do you have a camelback hydration set-up? That might come in real handy crossing the plains as well as the desert areas of Nevada, Az. and N.M. Very important to stay hydrated while traveling on two wheels.

                      I've found Beef Jerky makes a good on the bike snack. You can keep it in your pocket, also it's easy to stuff into your pie hole.😯 I had 75%-25% results with Trail mix. 25% would make it into my mouth 75% blown down the highway. 🤔
                      I can't wait to hit the road again...

                        Glen, we should just slate out a time where we could get together, even for lunch. I consider NJ my backyard in the summer for riding.

                        Might do another 250 adventure... I will not be consuming as much Gennesse, OMG... I feel so bad still for destroying your bathroom. Love the land of Eli... I'll be over, going to try to drag Jethro with me for that adventure.

                        I'm abut 2.5 hours from Maine, I go a few times a year, I also spend a couple of solid days at the beach when I'm in Florida every year. I only have 25 days to get traveling in and my best friend is in Albuquerque so I'm taking some time to see him. I'll be in San Diego for a couple of days and I need to put my foot in the Pacific to say I have had my feet in both the Atlatic and Pacific in 1 year.

                        a PNW ride is on the radar for one of the ventures... I want to see how this first big ride works out. I think 2022 or 2023 I will be out that way.

                        So your going to be in the area around the same time Trev?

                        A possibility! I will be passing through for I will be doing an Official (That's right Carl) Saddle Sore 1000 from Pike's Peak CO to San Diego CA. I've done 1000 mile days but I just need to bite the bullet and just do it. Ayway I think I'll be passing through and grabbing a light meal. Even if it's for a short moment it's always nice to meet folks from GSR!

                        LARRY!!!!! Ok so I'm bummed I can get to see you as often as I would like... (Likely will miss Brown County this year) Might try to get to traveling picnic as long as I'm not broke from all the rear tires I need to buy this year. No I don't have a camel back, usually keep 2 very large bottles of water with me on trips. I'm stopping about 180 miles or so and i try to hydrate than. I don't have a mesh jacket either so and advice you can offer for desert travel I will gladly take!
                        Hope things have been well for you bud! Hope to see ya this year!
