Chicago, Illinois to Tempe, Arizona.

Well after contemplating selling my 1977 kz 650 B1, i came down to the fact i just couldn't do it. I went into work today, and found out im being laid off at the end of February, and there is a 95 percent chance we will be closing our doors for good. So with that, i decided to go on a road trip with my kz 650. Im heading to Tempe, Arizona to see my girlfriend for spring break. Im planning on leaving here an March 7th and making it out there by the 11th. Im going south in hopes of running into warmer weather. I will be heading through southern illinois, missouri, oklahoma, the northern tip of texas, and through new mexico and in to arizona.

I just need to get away from everything that is going on here and get my mind off things. OMR we have to ride when i make it out that way.

You're not selling the old girl, excellent young man!

As in an award, we'll swap keys for a ride if you want!!!. Hows that sound?

Definitely bring your MC license , registration & insurance card... It's fairly nice here right now around the 70's...

Then BBQ around the pool side...

Call me when you get here...

Pools out here are a dime a dozen... Adds very little to the cost of a used home out here...

And noooooooooo... I'm not rich... :blush:

Hey now... Not all of us can afford to live in Carmel of all places... :laugh: Hell most of us can't afford California home prices so who you kidding... :laugh:

BTW... Carmel is seriously my favorite place on the planet... I have lived in Europe, So Africa (Durban, Cape Town & Swaziland are freaking awesome), Northern Cal and a few other states...

Carmel and Lake Tahoe... Sweetness!
Unfortunately... ppl who live there hire guys like me to do their work for them..... :blush:

Hey OKR don't forget I was there. They had it all planned out. Nice camp out in the back yard and then the races. We left and their dogs impregnated my two little girls. And then when we came back Tri and Amy slipped us all roofys and Yianni ended up on the couch with makeup and a wig on wearing a pink tutu with the back ripped out. And he told me he kind of felt violated plus he said he remember Uncle Craig saying someone touched his tip.:dry:
I wouldn't go there if I were you. Not without dual plugging with a cork or two just in case.
Don't you remember what happened to Plummen :woohoo: He was all crazy typing stuff he doesn't normally type and people were upset with him.
Craig is a little strange man. lol

Thats a hell of a ride. Make sure you take some Tucks medicated pads with you. :laugh: If you get bored down south come up here for a while.
