Heads up before I forget. You need a reservation to ride the Road to the Sun between 6am and 3pm. They limit it to 900 cars during that time. They go on sale for 2 bucks the day before. So you do that or plan it real early or after 3pm.

Parked in Great Falls Montana. Tomorrow, Glacier National Park and the Road to the Sun. 2100 miles so far. Not quite half way.

Drive into Yellowstone from Cody was beautiful. Park is not very busy at all. We are now waiting for Old Faithful to do something.

Fuel Mart in New Concord at 9:45-10:00, tomorrow morning. 

Just saw this. Not going to make it.

Pretty excellent day today.

Early round trip on Spearfish Canyon Rd. Saw some dead people and the geographical center of the US. Ran 90 over to Buffalo WY and ran 16 west. What an amazing road and views. Spending tonight in Cody WY. There is a rodeo tonight we may go to.

Tim and I experienced the same thing coming south out of Sturgis. The relentless wind takes a toll on you.

Tim must be unlucky. When we did the Iron Butt we had a 40 mph wind from the side from Davenport to 90 and then as a headwind the rest of the way. It sucked.

Saw a really grim road kill today on 90 near Murdo. This massive steer. 2 state workers were there with a flatbed trying to figure out how to load it. Pretty sure they are going to need a lift truck or end loader. It was huge.

Parked for the night in Rapid City SD.

Fuck the wind on I90 westbound. Happens every time. My old skinny arms are sore as hell and Jesus did it kill the mpg's. I lost abot 50 miles per tank.

Still a great day. Cool iron sculptures, prairie dogs and awesome views.

Still a long way to go but we are getting there and having a blast.

Parked in Sioux City Iowa. I remember this place, one of our favorites. Upscale, real cool vibe. Rooms are epic. Party has started with another Jimmy.

Interesting stop at a Sinclair gas station. 5 grades of gas. 15, 30, 50 and 85 Ethanol. Only low test 10 percent. Glad I don't need premium.

Ok, Dubuque is a very cool old town. Allegedly we can see three states from here. Just had a great late breakfast.

Day one is over. Made it to Joliet IL, and of course we are at a casino. Major rain near South Bend. More reasons to hate Indiana.

We are off, this one will be epic.

Got the bike all back together.

I see an extra bolt sitting on that silver bowl there.

Got my throttle all set up the way I like it. Might throw some heated grips on in the future.

Few more mods and it will almost be like the Goldwing you sold. 🤣

how much does that cost you? I am looking to get one for my sportster but i need it seprate from the rider seat. The Viking Bags makes custom seats but they are asking big bucks for it. I can not find it any seat online. does the https://www.mustangseats.com/ offers custom seats?

Driver with backrest, passenger seat and the passenger backrest was 2 grand. They are all heated.

That is the going rate, it is expensive.

Migjt want to look at Russell Day Long for custom work. Also expensive and the wait can be long but they are the best in the business for custom work.
