I think I was 28 or 29. 4700 in 10 days, 2 of those days we didn’t ride (1 in Gateway and 1 in Santa Fe). It was a lot of fun. You guys are going to have a blast.

Ours will be right around 7000 miles. I want this to be a total independent trip and only need to purchase food,lodging and gas on the way. In other words take everything I could ever need with me. We need to prepare for 90 degrees across the plains and potential snow in the northwest passage and everything in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't travelled out west before you will be amazed at the natural beauty you are about to experience.A motorcycle is the best way to experience these places...temperature changes,mountain air,360 degree views,being in the weather and environment ....are experiencee you just can't get from a car or RV.

I've been out in the truck and trailered the bike. Got a couple day on the bike while out there but it was just a taste. That was 5 years ago and been itching to go back and being at the mercy of the elements is part of the excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Got on the bike today for the first time in over 2 weeks.(Doctors orders) Rode to my dr appointment on the west side of Columbus to give it a shake down for the trip. The great news is the Doc has cleared me for the trip. The also kinda good news/bad news is my shake down revealed a problem with the bike. Long story short I was dumb ass when putting on the new brake pads, but all is fine now. Just glad I decided to ride to the appointment and found it early enough to address it at home and not on the road. Other than that every thing else worked and performed perfectly. My little jaunt around town today. Edited July 27, 2018 by 2talltim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
