Also, when you really travel all that far, one comes from Niagara falls Canada to LA, something always happens to someone in the group yet never within cell phone coverage so AAA is null. Buddies with tools and lots of talented help from other riders is the key. The trip is way more fun than the destination.
yeah I won't be making trips like that, and if I did; being prepared for that is different than the 30 mile to work commute thing.

I can't drive cross country any more, had a bad motorcycle accident 14 years ago, broke my pelvis and my hip (along with some internal injuries), sitting longer than 2-3 hours (and that is a stretch) is bad, can't walk and can barely stand after sitting that long.. My car will be a driver and I might do a 200-300 mile jaunt at some point, but no cross country type stuff like what you are talking about..
