I think as far as motorcycle related portions of the trip is concerned I severely underestimated the pain on my back, legs and *** but I'm not sure what if anything I could've changed to remedy that short of a different bike. Another thing on the pain on the legs is due to bent back position of the rearsets on sportbikes as opposed to touring bikes so I might've looked for adjustable rearsets. My main intention was not to change my sportbike into a touring bike (I could've just bought another bike for that) but to make whatever minor modifications could be made easily and cost effectively that would help with this trip but still keep it a pure sportbike at heart. As I had mentioned though, even with the pain I still don't regret anything (even with the pain) and would do it again but a bit shorter trip next time .. but this one was worth the experience just to know it was doable.
There are a few minor things I might have done differently but they're insignificant, such as; having spent time looking for better high definition glasses, with bright sun one minute right in your face and then quick change the next it would've been nice to have along the way. Also, for the first time I found the particular Corbin seat for the 954 is pretty much useless after a few hours. Trading with my friends FJR for a stretch here and there really showed what a difference a touring seat makes. Again not sure how I could've changed that but I might've looked into alternative possibilities had I known how painful it can be after hour number 3.

No problem Quick, any info. I can help you with feel free to ask.
Well, I didn't quite make it down to Tijuana like I planned but got to Naval base at the tip of San Diego which I guess is pretty good since that's as far as I could go and drink the water![Smile](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

over 200 pictures taken and don't have time to post an album but here are a few:
All the times I've been and this is first shot I actually took of the famous sign:

Beaches near Hoover Dam (nice and very scenic spot):

Don't mind the "no motor vehicles sign", you know I had to take that twisty road
It was built like a track / twisty mountain road all combined into one for several miles with not a single vehicle on it or any roads coming into it .. sweet!

Ate so much good food it was a wonder I could get back on the bike without having to reset the suspension for 2up weight:

I'm not a big chopper fan but they had several of these Suicide Kings Choppers throughout the rio and I must admit they're pretty badass:
