Thanks for your concerns on my well-being in the “Where’s Tribal” post.
It was locked before I could reply.

I am alive & well and will be leaving Florida next week heading up the East Coast.

Just stay out of the woods ...... there's a bear in there, and stories to tell!*

The fundamental issue is funding your adventure. You will need to budget US$100/day for gas, food, drinks, more drinks, ice, camping fees, propane etc. Some days are more, some are less but that is $36,500 for ONE year and does not include consumables and repairs, insurance, DMV fees, storage fees, mail service, medical and dental costs etc.
A $45K bankroll would be needed to safely cover a yearlong country-wide high mileage tour to fully experience whats out there without having to constantly worry about money.

Yep, my indexed annual pension would cover that US$45...........The urge.... Zilch

I spent too many years touring a large chunk of this country, in a 4x4, camping out bush and getting paid for it, to do it all year long for fun!

Little bits at a a time for this Hobo but hey @tribal you got at least 15 years left out of your house before you even touch your investments!

For those who are wondering, yes the Moto Hobo does still exist! He's cruising through southern Arizona now while staying with forum member TURBO200R4 and some of us fellow rocket riders (myself, Maurice, & Benard) had the opportunity to take an awesome ride with him from Tucson, to Bisbee via Sonoita and Tombstone. Great ride and I enjoyed his company and stories. I may have the number a little wrong, but I believe he said he's up to about 38,000 miles on this journey of a lifetime.

The way I understand it, Tribal is currently under some posting restrictions but I'd like to ask the mods to help clear that up since this community is certainly a better one with his unique voice.

Yes Jim is staying with us at the shop and he has been teaching me computer and i have been helping a bit while he is making a few repairs for a long run.
I wish i could have made the Saturday run but had a leak in the radiator.

I'll second that, I know there was a feud involved, but it's certainly interesting content

Let's get Tribal back on line. We are all missing his content.

So glad to see your still eating up the miles . I bought myself a mini mate this summer . Since travelling was a bit sketchy this year in Canada I'll be all ready for the next season . Really happy to get news . Keep them coming with pics if possible .

Is a mini mate a female midget?
