They finally got out of Texas.  Only to get a flat in Port Charles.

Terry sure doesn't have very good luck during his transcontinental trips.  I know a 72-year old lady who crossed the country, from Vermont to Oregon and back again this summer on her BMW F650GS and never had a single problem during her trip. Not even a flat tire or a traffic ticket or a traffic jam and if the weather was bad, she never mentioned it to me.   ???

This type of transportation is a little bit more experimental though, to say that least. I've definitely hit tons of traffic in my motorcycle touring experience, and most of the other stuff is really just because he's riding what amounts to an incredible prototype. Mostly minor snags this time around  ;D

Looking at the pictures Zero should spring for the new logo on the side of his bike.

Well, they're "springing" for a new motor, it should be there by noon today, according to reports.  Maybe they'll throw in a logo too lol.
