The route maps for my 50-day, 9,926 mile, 15 state, 5 Canadian province solo motorcycle tour.

Tristan of Gauthier's Towing trailered the wounded "X" back to my house from Shreveport, LA. So now, the great Trans-Labrador Loop adventure is complete. Thanks for joining my 50 day, 9,926 mile journey through 15 states, and 5 Canadian provinces. Pardon me while I start planning my next epic ride. I'll see you on down the road.

So, only 219 miles from home...

...I blew my rear tire on I-20 about 15 miles East of Shreveport, LA. It took me an hour in the 92 degree heat on the highway shoulder to plug the massive hole with three plugs but it still leaked down in about 5 minutes. Thanks to incredibly generous local bikers Iceman and Blondie for assisting (providing water after I had to mix mine with soap from my toiletries bag to detect the location of the leak in my tire) and also to Tristan of Gauthier's Towing for getting me out of the heat and off the highway. I'm now sitting in a Hilton hotel waiting for the Honda service department located down the street to open on Tuesday. Hopefully, they can replace my tire and get me back on the road. The adventure, it appears, has not ended.

Strolling around downtown Savannah, GA. Most Americans have no idea that there was a Southern front during the Revolutionary War with Great Britain. There are tons of Revolutionary War monuments in Savannah such as the Nathanael Greene obelisk in Johnson square pictured below.
