My slide show From JAX to SFO is finally on youtube. Just impressions, It's a screen recording of approx 170 slides with limited quality 720 p, no audio.
Best I can offer on the web for the moment.
Lloyd&Ute are at 20:55.
Jim Norman&Chere Horel from Corona NM are at 21:09 (red Yamaha side car; I've no email address, perhaps sb can inform them).
Have fun.
Best wishes,
Lorenz
An excellent travelogue Lorenz!! Felt like I was along with you on the trip. Thanks for posting and sharing your memories!!
That was way cool. I live hear and will probably never see the things you did. Way to go. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
I have not been on a long trips with my hack on yet. It has been on for about 5 months and 4,000 miles. The longest one will be end of March about 250 mile one way and 250 miles back in the same day. As a solo bike I did to Georgia to Alaska and back little over 10,000 mile in just over a month but I am guessing with a hack it takes longer.
I am 58 and not in the best shape one of the reasons I put my hack on is do to my felling knees. What is a good days ride with a hack. I am planing some long trips and is why I asked.
Thanks
Jeff
Great pics!
Hi Jeff
I have a "slow" right leg due to multiple sclerosis (MS). This is the reason I have a third wheel. Before MS I rode solo motorcycles and loved the winding roads, loved the leaning and smooth ride along curves.
Now I have a side car that allows stability when halting, nice ride on a straight road and long curves. I can pack it with a folding bicycle and camping stuff. I can do extremely long tours. But narrow curves may be painful. On the winding HWy 1 towards the Pacific in northern California, where the road literally curved around trees, I was so slow I became a hinderance of traffic (this after 9000 miles, so no rig greenhorn any more). I let traffic pass now and then (cars, trucks, vans), almost feeling ashamed. They thanked, I felt better again.
To do much mileage was not my goal. Rather, I consider this tour too fast. If I did it again I would stay longer at some places. Perhaps I should do it again...
Lorenz,
I guess the trip I plan with my son this year will have exactly that back stroke. Not enough time to enjoy. He insists in returning within maximum 2 month for not to loose clases.
Right now I enjoy the expectations to soon get a new engine for the Jawa, pass Easter in Middlegermany and somewhen this summer catch one red salmon somewhere way north.
Enjoy Your spring, here it's summer and I haven't had time to travel around much yet.

I total understand as I put my hack on because the doctors told me good chance I well be in a wheel chair in 4 to 5 years and my knees are so bad I have trouble holding up my ultra. If I had the founds I would take my time every where I go and hope to be able to take a couple of months when I do my last 5 states.
Guess I need to start a thread on what is a good days ride on a rig with out killing your self.
Thanks
Jeff
Great Lorenz, what a wonderful trip. Hope that you can return some day, maybe we can ride part of the way with you. With the pictures, felt like we were with you on this trip. So glad that you had a great trip.
Lloyd and Ute
