ClevelandMoto 569 Riding a Vespa from Cleveland to Texas?
Q: What kind of bikes have you had? You just mentioned you had a Himalayan 450. So what's your motorcycle career been like? Or have you been riding all your life, or are you just getting into it now?
Gordon started riding at about 13 on a Honda Dream 305, later owned a Yamaha 650 Special, a Honda Super Blackbird, and a Honda VTX 1800. He now has a BMW R12 and Moto Guzzi V85 TT, and recently bought a Himalayan 450.
ClevelandMoto 553 The Great Ohio Adventure Trail (GOAT)
Q: Hey Brad, did you initially have points of interest in mind that you tried to string together or did you lay the route out first and just say this happens to be on the route?
Brad explains that the idea started from a few known historical and cultural sites, notably the Big Muskie bucket, and then expanded by adding roads and stories that connect the river to Lake Erie, with a strong emphasis on history, Underground Railroad sites, furnaces, bridges, and small towns. He built the route around meaningful places and then embedded them into theGOAT as it evolved.
