The back seat view

Sharon’s entry:

Wow - only 6 more days until the trip!  Who would have thought that I would be giving up the creature comforts of civilized life to take a road trip across the big, wide USA?!  Most people who know me would not believe this new side of me - the wild child taking off for 3 weeks to see the country from the back of a motorcycle.  But what the heck, you only get one chance at life, and Frank has graciously invited me along, so I might as well live on the edge for once!

Since Frank bought the Electra Glide Classic, we’ve done some riding to get acclimated to it. It’s different for me as a passenger, that’s for sure. I sit up higher behind him on this bike than I did on the Dyna, so I’m buffeted more by the wind.  That will be a challenge on this trip, since I’ll feel more wind on my face and head.  But I’m a trouper, so it will just be another facet of this once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Some people have bets that I won’t make the full trip - somewhere around San Diego they expect me to hang it up and take the next plane home to Michigan.  They don’t know me very well, do they!?!?  I look at this as a total adventure and am going to hang tough through it all!  So those who have made bets - show me the money!!!

    Higher seating is a good thing, means you can face forward and actually see things! What a novel idea, have fun, love the blog!

    To the naysayers… This girl is TOUGH! Sharon and Frank rode with my wife and I on a 2-day fall color tour of northern MI last year. 1,000 miles in two days and the temps never got over 50 degrees F. I rode my Ultra Classic while Frank and Sharon were on his Dyna.

    Sharon, have a ball girl, I KNOW you’ll do fine. Enjoy the ride and take lots of pics!
