The motorcycle life means different things to different riders, but there’s nothing like using two wheels to achieve a dream. Enter Corey Gamache. He’s not from around these parts—he hails from Murfreesboro, Tennessee—but he has the riding spirit. Now that spirit is leading him across the country, and soon he and his crew will moto through Colorado.

What Would You Do to Live the Motorcycle Life?

Gamache is a traveler by heart. At the age of 30, he’s already hiked the Amazon and lived in Japan. However, when he returned to the States, he realized that he really hadn’t seen that much of his home country. That’s when he devised a plan.

He would travel the United States, but Gamache decided to take the road less travelled… Heck, there wouldn’t be many roads involved in this trip at all. He decided to travel off-road via motorcycle. So Gamache recruited a modified Suzuki dual-sport motorcycle, his dad, and two friends to tackle the Trans-America Trail. He estimates the 5,000-mile trek will take about a month, and he has a three-inch binder full of maps to prove it. And so this moto-enthusiast is ready to take on the open wilds of America, but every adventure has a price.

In order to go on this trip Gamache had to quit his job, but he tells a local reporter back in Tennessee that there really is no love lost between he and that job. He saved up money, organized the trip, and will use this adventure as the ending of one chapter in his life and the start of a new one. Upon his return home, Gamache plans to go back to school to get a degree in mechanical engineering. And if he approaches that with the same passion he lives life, then the sky is the limit.

Gamache will roll through Colorado in the next few days. He says our state will be one of the most challenging legs of the journey since he has at least 13 mountain passes to travel through. So if you see him, his dad and friends out on the trail, wish them safe travels.
