Yeah, we were wondering were you two went after you caught us on 212 in MT. Glad you made it back okay.

hehe - we were parked at that "Lousy Food" saloon on the corner when I saw you two go by. I waved madly but no one looked  Sad  So I hopped on the GS, tore across the grassy median to the road and (eventually) caught up to you. It was a faster pace than what we had been running so I let you two go. How was Starving Donkey?  Razz


We went to Canada, of course  Cool  I showed Req some of BC's finest roads, both dirt and paved Banana

OK,  after leaving the U.S. contingent in Great Falls, we pointed it North for home.   Got there 11 hours and 5 curves later.  (1 hour wait for customs to get their act together.... grrrrr  Bash)  It seemed the weather dropped 10 deg. right at the border.  Headscratch    Made it home.   Best of all,  no injuries,  none, nada, nothing,  no eyes, ears,  or legs hurt.    

Great to meet you all again.

I'm home as well, 10,000-some miles and 35 days after departure.


I wish I could do that. A little problem like lack of work and coinage prevents me.

We all got back home, safe and sound, on Saturday afternoon.  Totalled 3209 miles for the week.  This was my girlfriend's first motorcycle trip and she loved it.  She said it was the best vacation she's ever had!  I just want to say that (even though she probably won't see this) I am so proud of her for taking a big chance and really stepping out of her comfort zone to go on this trip.  I'm ecstatic that she had such a good time.  She's excited about the prospect of another m/c trip... where ever that may be.  What a woman!   Inlove

Congrats, Shawn.  Thumbsup

Home as well, via, Minneapolis MN, Thunder Bay Canada, International Falls MN, Cedar Rapids and Ames Ia before I found Papillion NE again.  3625 miles on the OD, for a total of over 4500 miles on the New Sprint. Not a bad first month as I just had picked it up on the 19th of May.  


Back to work on Monday, after my months docompression time.  Yech...

Hey Curves, I didn't know you were going to come through here!  We are in Thunder Bay and would have been happy to have you bunk here.  Next time.  
Good meeting you in Custer.

Mr. & Mrs. BMW-K just rolled into home - just a hair shy of 6,000 miles in two weeks.

Home safe and sound!

I checked in T Bay.  8 of us left, and 8 came home.  That's all I can get to!
Todd, get a bike, then come and count with us!
