Hi There

[AppleT]

Hi There … Another newbie here...Thank you Bob and  to Cyndi who helped get me logged in. This site is so GREAT and i already thank you all for your input and participation.  I am about to buy a new travel trailer.  Nothing very cool or retro but one that I can live in 6 months of the winter and part of the summer while I rent my camp out on a lake. Its about economics and life style at this point  . Although, i am new to trailer life ( freaking nervous about backing it up or getting stck down a long dusty road), I am not new to traveling and living on the road. In 20014 i finished  riding my BMW 650 motorcycle for 2.5 years around the world. Now at almost 60 yrs old next month, I'm trading my mode a transportation to a camper to travel with my new  dog Rio and boondock most of the winter. Look forward to meeting many of you at the gathering in New Mexico..Thank You.. Eliza

Small word..I had the F650 then bought the G650 for the big journey…. ( it was cheaper ) I love the bike though and if had the money and it was practical , I would have bought a side car for my dog and gone that route. . Good luck looking for your TT. I'm looking to get solar for mine..This site has great resources.

Yeah, this site has so much depth of knowledge it's crazy!

Hear you about the hack, I really wanted to go that route to extend my riding (a hacked Bonneville makes me drool), but I was heading into serious money territory and had to decide which way to go.  So, sold off the bike, donated the gear, and put the money in the bank until we get the camper.

We want solar as well, boondocking meets our need for quiet and helps keep things cheaper for sure.

Welcome to the forum.  You traveled on a bike?  I bet you'll get used to the new mode of travel quickly and be comfortable a lot faster than those of us who aren't used to this!

Thanks Popeye ! Rockport is the Harbor..Where you from ? The flying Dutchman sounds familiar to both the Harbormaster and I but we can't place the name ( or boat ?)
