Re: Brag - gona go on a month long motorcycle / poker road trip!
 

Thanks for the SF info! I didn't know I could camp on Angel Island, that might be doable. And going to the scenic outlook with the other bikers sounds fun too. I need to find Alice's Restaurant (you can get anything you want) too while I'm out there.

As for live poker, I'm just a low limit balla player, like $4/8 limit or $1/2 NL. An earlier poster suggested I not worry too much about the poker side while on this road trip, and he's right. Just mostly to relax after a long day or two of riding.. I won't win or lose that much to matter while on this trip (in theory). But ya if there is a place to play in the SF area you recommend I'd prob be interested in stopping by.

The road goes on forever, and the party never ends! Take care.. BB

In that case, you can get 3/6 LHE anywhere in the Bay Area. Some places have NL, some 4/8, some 6/12, etc. Have a blast!

When do you leave?

Well I finally got around to writing up my trip report. You can view it here:

http://www.i-bmw.com/showthread.php?t=11900

Its a pretty big report with over 100 pics included.

In short, this trip was amazing! I rode my motorcycle over 7000 miles, visited 14 national parks, and played a fair amount of poker. I played at Sandia, several Vegas casinos, Lake Tahoe and Bay 101. I didn't win any money but thats OK (my online wins while traveling canceled out my live play losses). It was incredible adventure. Looking forward to my next big ride someday..

Take care.. BB

In your TR you better discuss a lot of various philosophical topics such as classic/romantic differences, the mental high road, infinite number of hypothesis, Church of Reason, etc.

Hehehe!! I've read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance... just too much quality/philosophy rambling for me. But the parts where he's talking about the trip with his friends and son were great, inspiring.

Fun stuff.. BB

The link I posted earlier sucks if you're not a member of the website. So I posted the report in the Travel forum. You can read about it here. Enjoy..
