Motorcycle Trip Across USA


Friday, 8 June 1979 - Up early and headed west from Pennsylvania briefly rode through West Virginia in rainy conditions with rain suits, felt the first rain seep in, continued through Ohio where we earned our first speeding ticket and stopped at a small police station to pay it, then arrived in Illinois entering Chicago before heading north to Evanston to stay with family friends Jim and Dody DiIorio.

Up early and headed west. We briefly entered West Virginia from Pennsylvania.

Looks like a wet day. We had rain suits to ride in the rain which we would use several times. They were not perfect and after a few miles you could feel the rain seeping in.

Many miles in Ohio which probably lead to our first speeding ticket of the trip. We drove to a small police station to pay the fine and were on our way.

We would enter Chicago and work our way to the western suburb of Evanston - where Cal was born. Here we would spend the night with Jim and Dody DiIorio family friends of the Holmans.
