    Hello fellow riders! In September 2013, I will be taking a 10 day, 10,000 mile journey around the United States on my Kawasaski Concours 14 to raise awareness and support for Kids ‘n Kamp. Kids ‘n Kamp is an independent, nonprofit organization that serves as a lifeline of support for children and their families touched by childhood cancer. I know first hand the kind of impact this organization provides, as they loved and supported my family during my son’s battle with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. Thankfully my son is now cancer free. Now, it’s my turn to give back to the organization that has given so much to so many. If you’re interested in donating to my journey or learning more about Kids ‘n Kamp, please search The Journey of Andrew Byrd

    Thank you!
    Andrew

    You will have little time for anything else but riding, eating and sleeping. Hope all goes well for you.

    Yeah. Once, and only once, did I do a thousand + mile day on my '72 Ironhead. I was 28 and it took 23 hours to get from Kent, Ohio to Melbourne, Fla., and I remember spending a couple days recuperating and sleeping on the beach. You could do that in those days . . . :D.

    I'm sure it's easier on a bagger, but it's hard to imagine doing 10,000 miles in 10 days.
