Riding Across America - 1 girl, 1 Triumph Bonneville, 16 000km
Hi Guy's,
I'm Weronika (Veronica). After my previous trip - Riding Across Europe ( here you can find thread ) I decide to realize my next dream... adventure across North America. :scooter: This time I will ride on Triumph Bonneville. https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...94048197_n.jpg I hope I'll have opportunity to meet some of You while my trip. That's my map & I'll start my adventure from South ;) https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...42765954_o.jpg More about Riding Across America you can find on twitter: https://twitter.com/RidingAcross and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RidingAcrossAmerica pls like them and share to your motorcycle friends :mchappy: best, Weronika https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...41873009_o.jpg www.ridingacross.com |
Weronica, be sure to see the HU Events page and try to get to as many HU Meetings as you can! You'll meet lots of great people and get a lot of great advice on what to see.
A Tip for the British Columbia section - that's the boring route - go Vancouver - Whistler - Duffy Lake - Nakusp and north from there, then east to Jasper and Banff then back south! |

Greetings Weronika!
Witamy w Ameryce!! WIDZĘ że w trasie przejedziesz przez Dallas Texas, mieszkam cztery godziny północ od Dallas I chce jechać na dół i spotkać się z panem. Możemy pić toast na Marian Rajewski!beer
in English, Welcome to America!! I see by your route that you will pass through Dallas Texas, I live four hours north of Dallas I would love to ride down and meet you. We can drink a toast to Marian Rajewski!beer |
Weronica,
You haven't said WHEN you are starting :confused1:...or from where? :confused1: Don't miss Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Washington, Oregon ... and the BEST ... California Redwoods! The WEST IS THE BEST! :clap::clap: (PS: The deep South is hot & miserable in June, July and August, most of September) bier |
W. I admire your trip, but the posted route will have you riding in traffic and through a lot of cities. You will miss a lot of the best that America has to offer. Enjoy your trip!
|
Instead of riding through Nebraska, I'd recommend riding north of there through Wyoming - South Dakota. That way you can visit Devils Tower, Mount Rushmore, the Black Hills, etc.
But then again, it's your ride and you may well have reasons for picking the route you did. Enjoy your journey! |

The expedition has begun but the beginnings were not easy. 24 hours before departure, I thought I’ll get crazy. Nothing went right… sometimes I thought that some people forget where I was going… like I would just ride a 100km trip around the home.
On Wednesday, I show up at the airport to fly off into the direction of my dreams with a smile on my face, because in the last second to the group of Partners joined Sony Mobile who provide smartphone Sony Xperia Z1 , which will capture all the fleeting moments during this trip. (With 23kg baggage limit I was terribly glad that I will not have to carry a DSLR camera with all the lenses. Additionally, this phone is waterproof… so screwy the rain :D Somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean it occurred to me that it wasn’t a dream. And from now on I will be on my own and I can count only on complete strangers… the only question was… will they want to help me? So far, I can say that this help for me is a little bit intimidating. First three days I couch surf in apartment of Polish girl who lives in New York for a last 5 years. Monica thank you dear for your help! You made the acclimatization much more easier.) Big thanks also to the Guys from Triumph Westchester. They prepared Bonneville perfectly to the road. In addition, I can admit that my jaw dropped on the floor when I crossed the threshold of the dealership… of course motorcycles were beautiful… but surprise was the fact that the owners of this place are two Poles! There was also setback :P from New York I wanted to leave about 9am, but the driver sent by the dealership had mistaken… Brooklyn with Manhattan. The result?! I jumped on Bonneville after 4pm… and I had still to ride 379km. And at the end someone turned on the faucet and added a few lightning. Delightfully right?! And all this on the first day in the saddle on American soil. To Baltimore I arrived just before 10pm. http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...k/DSC_0046.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...york/nyc-3.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...york/nyc-4.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...york/nyc-6.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...york/nyc-7.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-11.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-12.JPG http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-14.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-18.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-24.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-27.JPG http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-30.JPG http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-36.jpg http://ridingacross.com/wp-content/g...ork/nyc-39.jpg More pic's here: Galeria | Riding Across America p.s.
