Ciao a tutti,
come postato qualche tempo fa, ho poi deciso di viaggiare in moto nel sud ovest degli states... Vorrei condividere con voi alcuni momenti del viaggio anche per dare info a chi volesse percorrere le stesse strade... 3000 miglia in 15 giorni, vacanza stupenda.
Veloci considerazioni: mi era stato sconsigliato, o melgio, ero stato messo in guardia sulle seccature del viaggio in moto, ma devo dire che ne vale la pena e che, secondo me, è il modo più profondo per assaporare odori, paesaggi, temperature, ospitalità del grande paese che sono gli USA. E' vero, ti capita di soffrire il caldo, di prenderti il temporale, di essere scomodo, ma tutto viene ripagato con gli interessi...
Il giro è veramente fantastico, ti porta attraverso paesaggi differenti di giorno in ogno, in una escalation di emozioni e stupore... Si passa dai 50 gradi della death valley ai 10 dello Yosemity, dai -84 metri agli altipiani a 1800 metri... dal deserto alle foreste, dall'alta montagna al mare, dalle praterie incolte, alle vaste coltivazioni agricole... di tutto... unica costante le Harley, presenti ovunque...

Veloci considerazioni: mi era stato sconsigliato, o melgio, ero stato messo in guardia sulle seccature del viaggio in moto, ma devo dire che ne vale la pena e che, secondo me, è il modo più profondo per assaporare odori, paesaggi, temperature, ospitalità del grande paese che sono gli USA. E' vero, ti capita di soffrire il caldo, di prenderti il temporale, di essere scomodo, ma tutto viene ripagato con gli interessi...
Il giro è veramente fantastico, ti porta attraverso paesaggi differenti di giorno in ogno, in una escalation di emozioni e stupore... Si passa dai 50 gradi della death valley ai 10 dello Yosemity, dai -84 metri agli altipiani a 1800 metri... dal deserto alle foreste, dall'alta montagna al mare, dalle praterie incolte, alle vaste coltivazioni agricole... di tutto... unica costante le Harley, presenti ovunque...
