Best to do some practice week end touring.

You will learn much about everything involved with touring.

One can tour on any bike.

What you eat, how far you travel each day and how you spend each night make huge difference in $$$.

Fred Tipps average 26 miles a day on $60 bike, camping all the way from NM to FL 2200 miles.

I met Ken in Marfa Tx, in a $100 a night hotel.
