Sharing is Caring

In our bike gang, we always share with our friends!

The Big Announcement

It's about time we explain ourselves

What are we all about? Why do we have a blog, Facebook, Instagram and cards? Because we mean business and it's time to start building a community of people who will travel with us either physically or vicariously. 

    On June 21st, 2014, we will be mounting up on our 6.0 horsepower Honda Trail 90's and taking off  into the wild yonder, making a 15,000 mile trip from the West Coast to the East Coast and back again. This journey could take anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks- maybe more. We have started filming videos and clips for a documentary about this adventure. A cross country road trip is one thing but a road trip on bikes of this size is something else completely. As you could imagine, traveling the interstate is not an option, so that leaves us with the highways and byways of America. The estimated top speed on a loaded Trail 90 is approximately 40 mph, giving us ample opportunity to take in our surroundings and enjoy the ride.  
    
    We all have our different reasons for taking the trip; some of us are trying to figure ourselves out, some need one hell of an adventure to propel them in the direction they need to be going, some of us just need one serious change of scenery. Personally, I've got some really high hopes for this trip. As we all know, America has been through some very frightening times these past couple of years and there seems to be a culture of fear becoming popular in our country right now. With our trip and our documentary, my goal is to show America that we don't need to be afraid of each other. I believe if you approach any situation with kindness, a sense of humor, and a little whimsy, it could really turn into an awesome experience. It all comes down to the fact that you get what you give and you reap what you sew. 


   

Where to begin?

Begin at the beginning...

                                                           

     

      It all started with an idea. One of those ideas that you think, "yeah, sure, that could be rad" and that's about it. An idea, a maybe-some-day-we-should. But that's the thing with ideas. Sometimes they can misbehave and get away from you. You find the idea in the strangest places; on your commute to work, or while you're doing the laundry or grocery shopping. Then this pesky idea starts to affect your conversations and before you know it, this dreamy little idea, conceived over a few pints of beer has put on her big girl pants and becomes a real big idea to grapple with. No longer a muse, this has become a chosen reality. This is about the best way I can describe the forming of My Trail 90 Crew.
     Why am I telling you this? Because this is the story of us. We're a motley crew of ragtag mechanics, travelers, and psycho-spiritual rejuvenation evangelists. It's said that you can't choose your family but we are so blessed to say that this is not our case. We're a funky little family that began as neighbors- strangers, really, living on the same street. Adam and I were newly weds and a bit apprehensive to be living in this particular 'hood. Bobby was this shirtless, shoe less curiosity living across the street. And Tyler? Well we were convinced, due to his pristine Mercedes, that he was a true blue drug dealer (we later discovered that he is tragically responsible with his bills, thus scoring him an epic ride). Feinn was a blessed addition a little further in to this adventure. We all got to know one another and over the years have come to discover and cherish the crazy stories we accumulate together. Through ups and downs, we all kept looking around and realized that the people always standing by us, always encouraging us was, well, us. And now this family of ours has come up with one whopper of an idea.
