Very cool.  

The only thing is that you probably won't ride your street bike much for a while.  

I got my DS in February and I rode the FJR 3 times all summer and the 4th time will be to Chester, CA. I kind of forgot how to ride it.

Ack!

Too late to the party...again.  

The Semi-official, ST.N, Mid-West Coast B&B&B musta been on yer way and we would be proud to have hosted ya, but alas I tumbled to the thread too late.  

Next time give us more lead time during "logging season" would ya?  

Congrats on the new bike even though its "off-roadness" bans you from "Sport-Touring" forever.

It's been good to know ya, good bye.

Not to worry, good Doctor, we took one look at the soaring SoCal temps and said "Eastern Sierra, that's for us!  Who needs some namby-pamby maritime cooling; let's embrace the furnace."  So CA 178 from Bakersfield over the Sierras to US 395 all the way to Orygun, then OR 31 to 97 and 97 back to Bend.  

With apologies to Colin Fletcher, my own 1,000-mile summer in 2.5 days.  Thank gawd my butt and the stock seat got along.
