Alright. I’ve got a plan that might be crazy or might be brilliant. I don’t have a ton of motorcycle-riding friends, so I’d appreciate any advice or thoughts.
Here it is: Get a bike. Spend 6 months learning to ride it, getting all the gear I need, taking safety classes, and saving some money. Then, in the spring, set out on my bike traveling around America, camping, staying with friends and at cheap motels, and working for an organization that I used to work for that has offices all around the country and would be willing to employ me at any of these offices for as little as two weeks time. I’ve run the numbers, and it seems affordable.
Quick context: I’m a good traveler and experienced camper, so that side of the equation is not an issue. I also just graduated college from a good school with good grades and all that. But I can’t get a job that interests me. I’ve been looking for three-months now to no avail.
My main question is: should I do it?
My other questions are: what do you think a good bike would be for such a journey? What about other bike related gear? Any other tips?
