Charlie, That's a cool story. Vengeance without intent is always fun.

Yep. That was very cool.

Of course, and you Sir have shown yourself to be yet another 'Fire member with an extraordinary resume Kinda restores one's faith in the 'Fire.

This thread is right up my street, or was.

Until my mid-thirties I basically lived off of whatever motorcycle I was riding, apartment because I had to, no furniture at all, quite a lot of women. Rode all year round, all kind of weather, over much of the US. I got normal when I moved in with the wife and her young son. Headed back that way now that I'm alone again, but this time around its more likely to be about bicycles and sailboats. Regardless, its gonna take a few years to get unencumbered .

I will say having done both, crossing the Continent on a motorcycle don't even come close to doing the same on a bicycle when it comes to the coolness factor, tho this ain't apparent to the casual spectator, including women which is sad.

When I retire I am going to get on my bicycle and disappear for a while.

I have plans for a solar powered rail cart. I'll ride the thousands of miles of abandoned rail lines. Hunt and fish, camp as I go.

I spent about $1,500 a month during my 70 days on the road, so $24,000 a year plus whatever's you pay for health insurance would cover it easily.

If I were living off a bicycle I'd drift north and south with the seasons.

And if I got tired of living I'd make for Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is fine but to get there ya gotta go across Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. What are the odds?
