Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. Absolute truth is that the photos I did take do very little justice to most of the roads we traveled. It's amazing how different my trips West were compared to this Eastern trip. It's a contrast in almost every way; dry and sparse vs wet and lush, most roads run str...

Guess he got home Sunday... Says in addition to his GPS and radar detector, he's now going to have to get Gopher Hole detectors for his bikes...

Don't know if you guys knew... OU812 is in the hospital... had surgery to put his Tibia back together... unloading his dirt bike from a pickup... jumped down, landed in a hole, cracked the bottom part of his tibia... #-o OUCH! Now he's got a plate and couple screws. He's OK... but the anesthetic has...

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!

You are conversant in the Dukes of Hazard?

The ORIGINAL... non of this Britney Spears crap... I think we're dating ourselves... Actually, I could barely walk...yeah, that's it... I was toddler when I watched that show...

First thing that came to my mind...

Hi, Ves, Looks like a great trip, thanks for the report. I think you captured the spirit of a 14 yo girl pretty well, having lived through two of them! These weren't just nice roads, many of them were on par with the "Dragon" in NC. It only reinforced my thinking that this area would be g...

Thanks. I'm sure you're right. I told her that... she gave me one of those teen looks...

Again, you'll just have to imagine it's a BMW I'm still riding. Last month I took a tour around some of the Southeastern states and one of my daughters decided she wanted to go. It's definitely one for the books... here it is.

Nice.

I'm thinking If I got anywhere near a mental institution, they may just keep me there...
Heck... I may just want to stay there...

Nice room for $55
In my next life I want to be a woman... cause I think you get special treatment...
AND I'd have hair...

Outstanding...

Thanks guys... glad you enjoyed it...

Anyone know of a job opening where I can just ride and than write about it for a living... [Sign: Will Work for Food and Gas]
Ya... didn't think so...

OK. Here's my last installment... even if you haven't looked at the others... take a look at this one... got some great photos...

Great trip folks...

Well, got Saturday written up...

Best photos are still yet to come...

Hey, don't I get some credit for chopping your gut out of the photo... I can't do miracles you know..

Thanks to all of you who took photos... So, here's the crew.. all in one place...

Very nice photos and the map thing is very cool.

It was great to be there...

Hungry Mother? Talk to me...



Here's part two.. Friday..

Ves, nice pics of your travels. I also had an earlier Bandit 1200S. I like your can, isn't that one of those the kids use on their Honda cages and the like.....it looks like a good fit. Thanks. I didn't really take as many pics as I usually would... I realized that they all seem to look the same in...

Sure, why not...

This is now the cover page for the whole trip...

Glad you all likin them... I was surprised myself how well they came out... manual mode, really low shutter speed and ISO settings on a Canon Powershot... steadied my hand against the window glass... The full dark one was still a little shaky.
