Most of us have heard of it. Several of us have done it. It’s my turn!!
This board is pretty amazing for many things when it comes to motorcycles, technical discussion, and good fun when we come together. I hope it can also become known for something else very important and that is supporting each other when we decide to do something like ride our motorcycles from one ocean to another in less than 50 hours.
It’s my time to seek out that love, support, and help. You see, I want to make sure I get there and I accomplish my goal of a 50CC.
Where do you fit in? Simple!
You can follow me on my SPOT Tracker as I ride. You can also call me on my cell phone at any time during the ride! PM me if you want my cell phone number so you can call to say hello, or just call me names.
Here’s the link for my SPOT Tracker;
Where am I?

If you have don't know the story of Amelia, I'll be posting up a link or two to our story in a bit. But know that she spent the first 119 days of her life in a NICU!!!
