Its about one month before I leave and I really cant wait to get on the road. Waiting around here is really taking its tole. It is very lonely in this town nowadays and I don't even have a job to keep me busy. Ive been working some odd jobs to give me something to do so if you need your lawn mowed please let me know. I could really use anything to help kill time before my grad party and then the family vacation in July.
I recently bought the motorcycle that will take me on the first leg of my trip (hopefully not the only leg). I got a 1983 Honda 750. Thats right, its a year older than ME! Motorcycles are much simplier machines than cars, they age much slower. It does have some minor wear and tear: the right signal wont stay illuminated (still blinks when I need it to), there is a small dent in the gas can and a few very small rust spots. After a fluid change and a wash it was running and looking great until I accidentally drained the battery. I tried to start it while I had it hooked up to a charger and now my meters wont light up. Oh well, I got a great price (practically stole it) and with a little work it will be ready for the long open road.

Gavin, when you leave, keep the updates frequent and grossly fraudulent when doing so will increase your story's ability to keep the reader interested. Basically I want to hear some bad-ass tales of Gavin's Journey.
Well I've never ridden a motorcycle out west, but I have taken the train and driven out there numerous times (most of the time having to roll into a gas station bc there are so few out there). It may be a long trip, but it's a good one, and there are so many places and sites worth seeing. Enjoy! ~SB
