Hi from New Zealand
« on: February 17, 2012, 03:20:17 AM »
Hello all, My name is Dave and I ride with two other couples here in NZ and have done for many years. We are embarking on a trip from Richmond Va. to LA and a whole lot of places along the route. We will be on the road for some 3 months and are all getting pretty excited about it. As the trip is a long one, we have broken it into three parts, each couple taking their third and doing research on what to see and where to go. I would really appreciate any advise as to gear to take and places to see between Richmond - Florida - New Orleans. We did a ride in 09 and went down the Blue Ridge parkway which was beautiful, would mind doing this again but interested in any other highlites you guys may know of. Really appreciate your advise, if anyone wants to know anything about NZ, or help setting up a ride, I'm all ears and happy to help out. Dave

When are you planning to leave?  Im in Va. Beach, if you are interested in historical spots, Williamsburg, Va has some interesting attractions.  If just into nice scenery,  you may want to take RT 12 down through the outer banks of NC and down to Cape Hatteras.  Just a thought.  Have fun.

Welcome Dave!
3 months on the road is a lot of riding.  As the length of the trip, eventually, you will run into all kinds of weather across the USA.  For sure, I would bring a few essential items, such as rain gears, full face helmet, waterproof boots and gloves, and of course, warm riding clothes.
Are you gonna camp, or hotel?
Again, it depends on when you will start, but that is my personal choices.
Good luck and have fun.
