Road Trip!!
Next Friday I get to leave on an approximately 4,700 mile 13 state road trip! States I will pass through are, in trip order:
Washington
Oregon
Nevada
Utah
Colorado
Nebraska
South Dakota
Iowa
Wisconsin
Minnesota
North Dakota
Montana
Idaho
Just finished:
Put on new Michelin Pilot Road 2's (got 20k miles on the last set)
Coolant change
Checked valves
New Plugs
Oil / filter change (will also change in Wisconsin)
Chain and sprockets were done a few thousand miles ago
Everything else is up to date.
Planning 6 days out (staying a few days in Milwaukee) and 5 back.
Should be fun.
I think I've got everything ready to roll.
Love my 06 F4i (bought in Feb of '12 with 4'659 miles, now 48k)

She ran like a champ! 53,255 miles young.
Longest day was 887 miles around 14 hrs. I'm not sure I'll do that on a sport bike again.
