I actually bought the bike and the gear. There a carefully laid plan that included detailed maps and routes of the trans-american highway. I started on 4 Aug 2011. Regrettably, the trip had to be postponed because my partner suffered serious injury after only a few days and after much deliberation I decided that I value loyalty more than personal accomplishment. Instead of completing the trip without her I vowed to return.

How I did it: Took a BRC class thro the state and got my card then just finished up with the written test. When I got to Japan they didn't acknowledge the BRC I'de already taken so I went ahead and took the ARC with them. Read how I did it…
A deaf-mute man came to my house today selling his works. I bought two beautiful paintings of Japanese scenery. I’m still thinking about buying more for my family.
This last weekend I completed the motorcycle saftey class and after sucessfully passing the MO state permit test, I am now the proud owner of a motorcycle endorsed drivers liscense… now (in 2 weeks when i get back to japan) comes the scary part of actually buying a bike and riding it on the road for the first time…
