I'm back!

[markgm]

I got back from my motorcycle trip, if anyone wants to read about it I have a thread here: http://www.sportbikes.net/foru...howthread.php?t=367929 If you just want to see pretty pictures, scroll down past all those annoying texty things. Oh, words, they call them words.

17 days without a computer and I never missed it!

sweet
and
awesome

those are some long days, 650 miles?!!?

 

[markgm]

Yeah, a few of them were long. It was amazing that towards the end of the trip is when we'd be able to ride a tank of gas at a time. I think we did that a few times in a row at one point and no one was complaining!

 

[ognabor]

that is awesome. i know that must have been an incredible trip, despite the long miles. maybe because of them. great pics, great story. i envy you.

Nice, did 2600 miles in a Penske truck last month. Whole lotta nuthin out there huh

you should make a route on google maps that you took. 7000+ miles can get you a ways around the country :shocked:

Yeah! One of the first thoughts I had was how incredible it was that the postal service can reach all of these people, and then it hit me why shop at home networks became popular. Deep down inside I felt good for the people that live in these areas every time I saw power lines!

You're right, the miles were what made the trip great! This is one trip I don't think I'll ever forget.

That's a good idea. I'll have to make one up when I have some free time at work!!

Before I even looked at the pics I was thinking you need a new tire, now I know you really need a new tire. Just looking at that tire makes me nervous.

this so reminds me of the movie wild hogs lol. Looks like you had a blast though!

You guys looks like Alton Brown and the crew. Similar bikes, similar outfits, etc.

I just got my Givi E21's installed and plan on doing something similar once the weather breaks and gets a little cooler.

You should put together an image for everywhere you've been.

Sorry that I couldn't make it to ride with you.
