Hey. I’m Shota.

I quite my job!

Now I am riding my motorcycle around the country! Leaving my home in Tucson Az riding to New York City and back as off-road as possible. I will be using Backcountry Discovery Routes and the Trans American Trail to see the sites and adventure. On the first leg of this trip I will be making my way to Minnesota to spend a little time on the lake for some R&R before trucking over to New York City.
