I Never Even Made It to Astoria

I needed to get out of my own head. So I pointed my Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE toward Astoria, Oregon and hoped for the best. I didn't get far. The weather had other ideas. But somewhere along the way I took a left turn I wasn't planning to take — down a road I didn't know — and it was exactly what I needed. Not the destination I planned. Not the trip I had in mind. Just a wet road through the trees, a bike that handles rain better than I deserve, and enough quiet to hear myself think for the first time in months. Sometimes the ride you need isn't the one you planned. I turned around when the rain got heavier. Rode home. Felt like myself again. 🐞 Get Veridian Cruise control for your Himalayan 450, or for other bikes.
