Thanks for all the input from everything. To answer the question i am going to put in some serious time on my bike before the trip. I am going to pretty much replace my car with my bike. Also i think we would be more type 1 ing it because thats just the way we are. We will definately co mingle with the locals. As for luggage we are going to haul trailers for sure. Neither of us have racks but we don't want them anyways. I am leaving for the trip on August 15 and it would go into the beginning of september because we both have to go back to school. The trip would include 2 of us until we get to canton OH will we are being met. This forum is awesome thanks for everyones input.

Now a question about roads...We know it is inevitable to avoid all the dangerous roads. But what roads is it the best to go on. Like would two lane state highways be the best or are drivers nice and courteous enough that country roads are free game?
