In 1966 I got kicked out of the house, went and withdrew my life savings of $350.00. Then I bolted a lock box on the back of my Honda S90 Scrambler and left for Oregon. 2 & 1/2 weeks later I made it to Cottage Grove Oregon and stayed with relatives . Along the way I had bought a couple dozen Cherry Bombs which I traded for gas along the way. To make a long story somewhat shorter, 3 months later I made the return trip back to Central Nebraska. I met a lot of great people back then, had fun and the local Honda Shop used my trip to sell Honda's. I averaged 99 miles per/gal and I still have the log of every place I stopped for gas. It was a hell of a ride.
