THE FLIGHT SOUTH

A solo 8,000 Mile Loop of the Southern United States. Goal: March 2022

Portland OR > Tampa, FL > Portland, OR

WHAT IS THE FLIGHT SOUTH?

A solo 8,000 mile motorcycle trip through the Southern United States. Experiencing as many Scenic Byways and National Parks as I can smash into three weeks. The Goal? To explore another part of the US I have never experienced. There’s so much of our country that people don’t deem “interesting”. The parts no one thinks are worthy of talking about and those are the parts I think make up the “feeling” of a place. The only way to truly know the feeling of a place is to experience it myself. I may also have another motive. I’ll be attending the Forgotten Angels Campout in Tampa with Shadetree Surgeon to make him sleep in a tent.

MEET THE RIDER

I’ll be taking my trusty 2016 Honda CB500x, named Briareos.

Stoked to be using Wolfman Luggage Waterpoof Luggage! No wet clothes for me!
