Ride across the USA

[pdedse]

I dont mind superslab in rural america, only in and around major cities, even then mostly at " rush hour" when it doesn't rush at all. Personally I'd rather slab it to the next thing I really want to see, than to ride thru yet another typical small town with stop lights and their own traffic issues. Can't imagine going all the way across this country on back roads only.

I can, but it's all about time and money. I'm from Kansas originally, but haven't lived there since I was 18. When I get to travel the midwest I love taking my time along the backroads...the seemingly endless fields, the "nothing out there" look, the small town funkiness--makes me feel at home. But if you got to "get there by..." then it's no fun.

On the flip side, after 30 minutes, I grow weary of curvy, forest-covered mountain riding--can't see anything because of the darn trees, and it all looks the same!
