"Motodromomania: An extreme form of a psychological disorder associated with motorcycle touring, also known as two-wheel vagabond neurosis. It is classified in the catagory of impulse control disorders. Those diagnosed with this disorder have an abnormal impulse to travel by motorcycle; they often spend beyond their means and sacrifice lovers, jobs, and security in their lust for new two-wheel touring experiences. Motodromomaniacs feel more alive when traveling and no sooner return from a tour than they start planning their next tour." Dr Gregory Frazier from his book Motorcycle touring: everything you need to know
What to do when one has to take vacation and nobody else can? Go for a ride. Where can you go this time of year and minimize chance of getting stuck with bad weather? South and east. How far is it to Key West from my home? Approximately 1520 miles. Why not? My plan is to try for an Iron Butt Bun Burner 1500. I always said I wouldn't do an Iron Butt ride unless it was on the way to somewhere I was heading anyway. So, I'll do it. I've got some folks lined up to watch the SPOT, just in case. Thanks guys. Once I get to Key West and my pace becomes much more relaxed I'll do some "from the road" updates. Big Red is prepped and ready to roll. I leave at O dark hundred tomorrow morning.
