Those were on my original maps but cut them due to making a long day even longer. Not so much mileage but time. Might add them back in if time permits.

No, not sure. I'm going to venture to say, not. The plan is to have a dealer lined up maybe in the Denver area that will be able to get one or take tools and spoons and have one delivered to the Dillon hotel and do it ourselves. Hypothetically we should be able to make one last that long taking it easy but knowing ourselves we need to have a plan to get one somewhere.

Only 7 months to wait now

Why we are both trying to loose weight the winner gets to be the little spoon.

Exactly the kind of feedback we are looking for. I added SR92 as a alt route thank you.

UPDATED AND FINAL PLANS....7/10 Okay for starter this isn't a open invite for anyone to tag along, the ones that would be invited you already know your welcome too and no need to ask.Especially you @Tonik your not going. The reason for the non invite of a group is due to the mileage and nature of this trip. This many miles in this many days we don't need extra variables to hinder our progress. So with that being said we ( @JustinNck1 and @2talltim) do want to share this trip with you all and let you live vicariously through us as well as ask for any input of recommendations you may have to help us out. We have a plan in place it is a very complete yet flexible plan since we know shit happens and things change so as of right now this is what we have planned.

I pass on way too much overtime at my primary job to justify picking up a side gig. Just my mandatory OT is usually more than I wish to work.

Ummm, How-D!

I know I'm down in weight just haven't climbed on the scale in a while. Back down to my smallest belt notch and feeling much better. And my gall bladder is fine now, so my guts are back to as normal as they are going to get.

Get a cover at a minimum, and no don't remove your seat that will leave all the electronics exposed to the elements. Maybe cable lock to pole or post is a option.

Three: I like pisssing @JustinNck1 off on long trips by varying speed

If I could got back in time maybe 3 years ago I would have put it on. But this long into ownership im not going to do it. One: I'm used to not having it(do have a throttlemeister) and Two: the old girl will probably only be around another 2 to 3 years.

Couple more set backs last week. Was sick for a couple days laying in bed running to the bathroom every20 min or so(both ends). I think I'm having gall bladder issues. Still not feeling well this week and stuff down there still isn't right. I think a higher power is fighting me to getting back on track.

Yea i know it wanst the track that did it was just saying that I know who that guy is. When i run out of lean angle I also run out of tire so it's a winwin..lol

That guy actually was posting on a C14 FB page after that track day that his bike ran like shit after he put it on the track. Said it was throwing codes and cutting out and dying on him. Sounded like a battery grounding problem to me but said he was going to have his dealer look at it. Never did hear if it was resolved.

The problem is no one is in project truck shopping mode.

We can put it in the truck..lol

Keep the lessons coming maybe the young one will see the light. Taking notes @JustinNck1?

I've tried to tell him this. He's young and doesn't understand.

See @JustinNck1 I'm not the only one that thinks this.

It is and they haven't. New bikes have tubes too.

Damn it now I need to spend money

Seen you post that you took it out on the FJR page and thought
