IA to CA trip planning

[Farmer]

Decision made on what to ride. Jack, remember Alan's prayer and the mention of Good decisions?

Traveling alone, if on the KLR every side road will be drawing my attention and desire to explore. Opening the possibility of getting
myself into a situation that could be difficult alone. Gold wing will keep me from that sort of misadventure.

Plus with the wing most of my things can be locked in the bags, And being away from the bike will not be much of a concern.

So Gold wing it is.
