    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Frikkin' punk kids and their cheap UJMs

wow, just got done reading that and just, wow. that is an amazing trip.
 
Geeze, I should try that.

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.
 
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

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
