It happens every trip, the excitment hits when you first come to the decision to start trip planning. Soon everyone knows about the adventure. It's great! Everyone is really excited about it. But it happens every trip

I have continued to build the bike I am planning on riding but small problems keep arising. Extra work not expected, Bmv taking to long and missing parts. Because of bad planning, I start eating into trip money, plans start changing and the trip keeps getting pushed back. For a trip that is meant for me to get away a discover, it seems more like a job.

I love talking to people about my trip but my conceitedness is catching up to me. Now I'm explaining why I have not left yet or answering the question when will I leave constantly. But it does not get me down. I have just started talking less about it, keeping a general date and kept truckin!

It's a destinationless trip, why worry about when I leave? I'm resourcefull as hell, it's going to be awesome. Got to keep worry free, this is not suppost to be a vacation. A vacation implies I will be returning to the same job, the same life. I want to return different, but not to different. Just more of a person.

I think were people went wrong is when English interpreted the word vacation. Vactin in Latin meant freedom from occupation. Now vacation means a break from....whatever, life, work, friends, Indianapolis. It's just a break. I'm taking an....experiance. Who know where I'll return or when. As long as I keep my mind right this will be amazing.
