Do you think it's wise to go on a trip like that when all you can pay for is gas?

I do have savings that I can dip into, but I really should be using that for school....the smaller the loans the better  Smiley

Yea, the time is pretty solid, it's the only time I could get this long of a ride to fit....but....bad news.....I had approval for the ride up until I mentioned that I hadn't met the people that I was going to stay with and they are worried about me staying with ppl in their houses.  They said that if I try to go they will remove my gas tank for the week that I was going to go.....I won't be able to afford it any other way so it looks like the trip is off Undecided  Better luck next time I guess Sad

You ride around the streets on a motorbike - a Ducati, no less - and yet your nearest and dearest have so little respect for your judgment and good sense that they are going to forcibly prevent your taking a holiday road trip that involves staying with 'strangers'.  Shocked

As a teenager, I'd have taken the same course you seem to have, and capitulated. Thirty years later, I would strongly suggest you tell them to save the stranger-danger stuff for your infant children, if and when they arrive.

And do whatever it takes to frustrate their plotting, however well intended they imagine it is, and take the trip.  Cool

Only other suggestion I would have is perhaps cut back on the distance a bit. That way you would save on fuel and add some time for the fun stuff.

You can take long trips like that on a monster without it being miserable?  I'm still in pain from the three hour trip a couple days ago.
