Try riding a Norton Commando from Chicago to La, and then across to Galveston.
No fairings, map taped to the tank. GI shelter half to sleep under by the bike next to the road. Met some great people and the bike never missed a beat.
And a knapsack for all I could carry.
You have a wonderful country and I met some truly memorable people, and not one harsh word the whole trip, incl being escorted by a chapter of the "Angels" on my way into LA.

Hmmmmmm - what was that about trailers..............................pffft

 

Sounds like we need a "Road Trips" section for the 1000F. I wanna hear more!

 

Will this do?

I road a 175 Yamaha dirt bike two up for 60 miles (one way) on 4 lane blacktop in heavy traffic with a buttload of traffic lights and then had to wait about 5 hours for my nards to descend again. When I realized I better start back before it got dark, I wasn't looking forward to it.

Lucky to be alive.

Is that the spirit? No?

 

That's it damnit Trout ........ next time your bike takes a ride in the bed of
someone elses truck ( actually now that I think of it it was not my truck LOL)

Anyhow try this take your index finger and stick it in your left ear ....look in
your mirrors ......... guaranteed ......you can see it coming outta your right
ear cuz there ain't a whole lot in between.

As for GI JOE (no not you house) the other one the GI Joe on the
barnyard Commando ......... escorted you say ...... very nice

Nah seriously ....that's sounds like quite the trip ...... and I think the
Trip Thread idea is a good one ........... maybe Joes nards will have dropped by then.

That's it I'm trailering on every trip over 50 miles from here on out ! LOL

I was going to comment, but....................

 

Well, heck I will!
That's gunna make the Skyway a tough one for ya Sprock. It's like 56 miles from Robinsville to Tellico. On the plus side, you could just set up camp on the east end and cruise with brother Sparkie!

 

Better idea for the next time

Well we could just set Sparkie up with the Flip Cam and have him ease off
the throttle a bit to keep you in the FraMe ....lol

 

I'll stay to the right so he can still get you in the shot way back there.

 

Last time that happened ...... you and the Harley Hog were shaking hands in my mirrors
