ON THE ROAD ON THE MOTORCYCLE: HERE I AM!! ANOTHER ONE!

Yes, guys this is me!!
I am a strong woman, am I not?
Whew! One must be strong to drive on the motorcycle fast and rocky... like we did! My rider, friend Topalante is an iron man, I must say!

I don´t find riding on the motorcycle so exciting, after spending almost the whole day on the back seat in the speed 150km/hour. The wind is strong and we managed 500 km a day.

Well, it is a lot for me, sitting behind the rider and watch the countryside. We passed Pennsylvania, a bit of West Virginia, Ohio, Indianopolis... alnost cornfields!! So far not so exciting... but worth to get to know the ride on the motrocycle. My friend, my rider - Topalante.es was also in a hurry, his aim was Alaska!! So far, he needed to be speedy! And we couldn´t enjoy so much the cornfields... 

How is it to ride on the motorcycle if you never drove fast: - It is not a quiet ride, the whole body, the head with the helmet are shivering in the strong wind.

My rider was riding mostly between 130-150 km/hour. So he promissed me to drive "slowly" safetly. Not relaxing, but we could pass fast the fields... of course we saw also some interesting corners, and yes, we saw the daily life of the Americans.... not only the rushy New Yorkers... I saw how people outside of NYC eat, live and spend their life.... almost always the same.

This was enriching. 

It was our deal to see the daily life. In Pennsylvania, a bit of West Virginia and Ohio... We stopped in Pittsburgh. Strange city, I don´t like it so much, strange architecture, city of steel, city of bridges, such a mixture of all and not clear in the expression of the city-spirit. But we met some nice people who were admiring my friend Topalante and his courage to drive, well, our courage!!

I am proud of me to ride and to make this adventure through the USA! It is exciting!

We had lovely sunny days. But after the fast ride I was quite exhausted to ride further so I stopped in Ohio, in Columbus. I said good bye to my friend... and just in the middle of the cornfield... but I was not alone!

There are also people and how nice!! I tell you in the next story... 

ON THE ROAD ON THE MOTORCYCLE: Welcome to PENNSYLVANIA.

DEPART FROM NYC DIRECTION: PENNSYLVANIA etc...! 

June 24th we, Topalante.es /see his homepage http://topalante.es/ and me left Jeff´s House, it is like a home, with very kind people around, Jeff and Rebeka, the owner were there to help us, to leave safe and without worries NYC. More people were there with us. They were excited with us!! I was very excited, also a bit nervous... I haven´t so much experience on a motorbike, but I am a traveler. And as a child I loved it when my father took me to the Stara Paka´s Hill on his motorcycle, sitting in front of him... OK, now I am older but the child remains in me!!
 From Queens Village we headed through the rest of Queens, Bronx, passed the wonderful Washington bridge... and direction Pennsylvania! Topalante, the rider crossed the whole Europe, Russia till the South Korea, and then USA - from San Diego to New York City, from NYC to Key West.
He knows driving very well... I can rely on him, he can also on me, I don´t give up, even it is quite though to sit behind too... but it is also somehow a joy I want to share with him.

 We arrived to Pensylvania! William Penn came 1671 into the SILVANUS- in Latin: Forest and "founded" the countrx...! It is the state of independence - the state of Amish People -about them you can read on my blog here )in German) - Appalachian Mountains, Battle of Gettysburg, Pittsburg, beautiful lake areas...etcetera.

“Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.” J. Kerouac / ON THE ROAD ON A MOTORCYCLE IN THE USA - NOW!

OK, let´s go to be crazy!! What a blast!! I am going to travel on a motorbike!! 

Not alone! With Topalante.

 So I must correct Jack Kerouac and I say: 

“Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be worried.”

 I am leaving New York City to travel with a great rider Topalante who already has an immense experience on riding, see his homepage: TOPALANTE.ES.

He crossed all Europe, Russia till South Korea and then USA. Incredible! So I am in good hands! I must trust him... NOW! What an amazing trip!! 

 We are looking forward to having fun, to seeing a lot of the USA!! We don´t go on the highways, we go on the small streets, to enjoy the countryside... we start in New York City and go to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Dakota etc... till Montana.  

We are going to cross the USA - the NORTH of the USA / MIDWEST together till Montana, then I will continue alone to California, and he to Alaska!

It is very exciting!!

Whew, to ride on the motorbike! I have no experience, just a small one. It is about power, indulgence and fun!! I should, I would like to write a new adventure book ON THE ROAD as Jack Kerouac.... what an inspiration!! I have already been on such a ride, two years ago... I was writing about in in Czech. You can still read it, it is online: by www.Idnes.cz like here one link: http://hledej.idnes.cz/clanky.asp?f=p&slovo=Milena%20Oda&d=http://www.idnes.cz/&search=Hledej

                                  And I do live as Jack Kerouac writes in his novel:

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”

                                                                 

                                                                     So let´s go!

 Follow us!

PS: Gap a travel with Topalante is all about adrenaline travel. Really exciting gap - yes - year project, travel  and awesome travel experiences are ahead of us, and I beg for the blessings on the way!
