Tracing your own name in GPS coordinates over 13,000-plus miles — that's the whole point of motorcycling being for anyone who wants to ride, right there. Hearing that Shantell is riding cross-country again after recovering from a crash, it reminds me that just staying on the road can be enough to push someone else forward too.

Shantell coming back after a crash is amazing.

Haven't heard Bessie Stringfield's name in a while.

Timing it with the Hall of Fame induction is a nice touch.

A relay format spreads the load, seems safer too.

Tracing your own name in GPS coordinates is such a wild idea.

13,000+ miles sounds romantic but brutal too.
