Midlife crisis motorcycle tour

Midlife crisis motorcycle tour Claude Vaillancourt and friends chronicle there adventures from 2015 to present.

Claude J Vaillancourt and friends are documenting their preparation and journey of several 6000+ mile motorcycle trips across the US to some of the places they always wanted to go to. Each trip will last 2 weeks and will be done in June of each year from 2015 to 2018. I hope you enjoy this chronicle of sorts and learn from our mistakes or successes along the way.

Day 6 rode 605 miles
For a grand total of 2365 mile plus a few extra days that I didn’t count.
Nothing exciting about the last day besides getting on the bike just getting home at a 600 mile day. It was gonna be long, tiring and hot and that was very true.. the big excitement for the day for me we went to Bucees. That place is huge over 60 gas pumps, massive tons of food tons of people there was need to see even got myself a little souvenir
Took a picture of the start of our day since I didn’t think we were going to get anything the rest of the day.
In this concludes our Midsummer ride.

Day 5 drove 564 miles to Knoxville
Since I hooked back up with Gary on day 5 while I was hanging out he was in Jacksonville seeing his friends Jonan, Brenna, Sierra, and Melissa Deskins.
On our way to Knoxville, we stopped and saw some friends of mine Craig and Amy who I worked with at Meijer corp. By the time we got to Knoxville, it was late show. We had the standby MRE dinner.

Day 3 no miles I just hung out in Brunswick GA.
Had breakfast at Maggie Mae's Downtown Cafe . Maggie and her mom were great I let them make my meal and I was pleasantly surprised.
After breakfast walked through down town area than went to Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jeykll Iskand. It was kinda underwhelming but my funds helped the turtles.
Came back hung out then went to 1509 Brunswick for dinner.
Tomorrow heading to St Simons Island.

Day 2 drove 616 miles to Brunswick GA.
Like every day we got up early and hit the road. We had to be in Taylor, South Carolina around noon. .
Rode some great roads through the mountains at speed it was fun.
We got to the Suzuki dealer and they diagnosed the issue really quick. While we were there got to meet Chris Moore of Moore Mafia Exchanged a few stories and off we went.
We hit a quick rain storm expected but than ran into rain the last 45 miles not expected. We felt like wet rats we were glad to get to the air bnb. Nice little cottage.
