Brad is driving the Rock Star Bus and pulling our motorcycles. Once upon a time, we observed what was referred to as “trailer queens.” Motorcycles being pulled on a trailer instead of being ridden. In those younger days, I looked at the motorcycles on trailers, mumbling to myself that the bikes are built to be ridden. I failed to consider why the older guys chose to trailer their bikes. I am sure they had their reasons. Fast forward two decades later, Brad and I are discussing plans for the upcoming year. We have a revelation. Hey, those old guys trailering their bikes were onto something. It is much more comfortable to be able to place the motorcycle on a trailer and travel safely inside a cage out of the weather. An extra bonus is that we have space for our comfort gear. Besides, after all the miles we’ve ridden together, we have nothing to prove. We do what makes sense to us.
First stop is near the Lake of the Ozarks. Travel is much easier when Brad plans ahead for where we are going to park the Rock Star Bus. Not sure of the length of the bus, but there are two bathrooms and bedrooms onboard. A full kitchen, washer and dryer, liquor cabinet, and food pantry. Brad calls the bus a diesel pusher. I just know it is pulling a trailer loaded with our motorcycles. We ended up at a new to us place called The Great American Campground and Dive Bar in Gravois Mills, Missouri. I think Brad was sold on the name alone!
