I'm new here and riding from Key West Fl. to Santa Monica, the main reason I'm doing this is I'm over 400 lbs and I now have type 1 dieabetis and if I dont I'll die and to me this is not an option to me so I'm going to do this for me and maybe inspire others to get the hell out of the house and do something, so I'm just taking my time and I'm in no hurry I plan to get there mid to late Jan 08 so I hope to meet you all and hang out and drink a pop and share some adventures with you all .I'll keep all updated from the road I got a dell laptop thats wifi and I'll be leaving as soon as my Doctor says I'm goood to go(should be next week)anywho see ya'll soon ....Dave

Kick ass man! I'm sure you'll drop a lot of that poundage on your way here. Be safe! Lights and so forth. Pound that diabetes into submission! Stay hydrated, carry some electrolyte pills with you.

No single thing affects our lives or the world we live in as much as eating, something most of us do at least three times every day.
