I only wrote down my START and End Mileage but no matter how I figure it out we went 82 miles farther then what my odometer read. So I will leave the mileage blank except for the start and finish and send them all of the receipts and hotel receipts and hope that is enough plus a check.

I have about 30 hours of GoPro video to go thru and edit. I have to go back to work tomorrow so it will be a few days before I can get to it.

Ready to roll pictures Thursday night

All packed and loaded I know Iam forgetting something but no worry I will remember when we are halfway there

Anyone riding this weekend? A few of us are doing a little road trip of around 3300 miles

I only sleep 4 to 5 hours a night

The wife was reading over my shoulder and saw the post about sheep skin seat cover and asked me what we needed condoms for

I just updated my Garmin to the 2015 and had to delete all of the language and picture files so it would fit. I will secure everything to the bike tomorrow morning before I go to work for a few hours that way when I get home I can get a few hours sleep before I leave to meet you guys I will probably hit the recliner tonight and watch Wild Hogs LOL see you all at 4:15am Thursday.

Don't we ride 70+ mph dryers

I am bringing my laptop I have a dumb flip phone and will need to down load the cards from my GoPro and digital camera everyday to make room on them for the next day. The wife wants me to post pictures on face book every night also. The night we are in Sturgis we should all go to this web cam http://rapidcityjournal.com/sturgisrallydaily/webcams/sturgis-street/ at a set time and wave to everyone at O.R.

I’m not bringing much A extra pair of jeans change of undies and socks for everyday a few extra shirts one sweater rain gear and a wind breaker if things get to rank I can always wash stuff at one of the hotels. I have a camel pack for water and some snacks

I should be at the plaza at 4:15 Will leave the house at 330 stop for fuel about 1/2 a mile from the house. Are all the gas stops less then 150 miles I checked my mileage and Im not good for much more then that

What the hell is a tank bar never been to one and never owned a bike that had one and Ive never tried wearing my helmet while having sex

Been riding over 40 years on July 2 2010 at 7:37 a young girl on a cell phone ran a stop sign from behind a tractor trailer 10 feet in front of me I T-bone her at 45mph I remember everything all I thought was dam this is going to hurt. The bike hit her right front wheel well I came off the bike over the right handle bar I had on a leather coat but the mirror cut thru the coat and ripped thru my stomach and broke off inside me my right hip hit her fender and drove the hip ball thru the socket I somersaulted over the car and landed on my left hip scattering it The girl panicked and stepped on the gas I got my hands up on her front bumper and she pushed me about 10 feet across the parking lot the only thing that stopped her from running me over was my bike it wedged under her car and lifted the wheels off the ground. After everything stopped moving I tried to get up but that was not happening Some people came over and asked if I was alright and I asked for my cell phone it had come out of the holder and was gone they asked why do you want the phone I replied to call 911 I told everyone not to touch me and played dead until the cops got there the first cop on the scene was my oldest son He thought I was in shock but I told him I was ok and what good would my panicking do or help I figured stay as still as possible until to paramedics’ got there To make a long story short my youngest son was getting married in 8 days and I made it to his wedding. Not the Drs orders but with lots of good drugs I made it. Now I’m back to 100% and loving every minute of riding don’t let fear stop you from doing something you love the first place I rode my new bike was thru the intersection where it happened

In the owner’s manual it is not listed as one that can get map down loads from a PC The 1300 nuvi I have is a cheap model I only paid $39 dollars for it on sale at circuit city. I got it for use on the bike in emergencies It gets me where I need to go one way or another. If I manually load the start and finish points and a few of our stops along the way it will almost always use the same rout we are taking. I will load those spots in to my favorites place just in case we get separated. Plus the memory is 95 % full and it is telling me to put a 4G microSD card in it but nothing bigger I do not have one that small.

Yep a sack soaked in gas will get you hopping LOL

I have a nuvi 1300 series GPS Looks like there is no way to load these maps to it. If there is maybe one of you can talk me thru it. Cant wait to go the first days ride has me a little worried because I work close Wednesday night and will have to do it on about 5 hours sleep Red Bull will be my friend. After all the bull shit last week about my vacation I know they gave me that shift on purpose funny how all of a sudden I close every night till we leave.

I always get off the bike when fueling looks like everyone in the picture stays on?

Always park in gear with anything that has a clutch Start in neutral 99% of the time Always get on the bike when I start it. Always get on the bike from the high side (right Side)

Tar Snakes Be careful when entering Rt82 / 5 west bound off of West Market St. leaving Warren The whole curve of the ramp is covered in Tar Snakes 2 inches wide and ½ inch thick 10 feet long or longer. I hit the ramp at about 45 before I saw them and every one I hit the bike slid 2 inches sideways Hate them things

Everything is Ok they will get it covered

Reservation are made at days inn in Morris for 6-15

Changed the oil in my bike today It is ready for the trip.

Now I am no longer a Team Player was it wrong of me to laugh out loud when A kid more then 2 times younger then me said that.
