Damn, now that's a road trip. Awesome pics man. Wish I had known you were coming to Columbus, OH. There are a few on the forum that you could've met. Maybe next time.
Yea I wish I would of had more time to stop and visit more people, but at that time since my mom had already taken that monday off work, I had to make it up to Chicago before then. I just stopped and saw my friend there and went out to lunch, than I got back on the road and made it to my sisters in central IL by that night. I'll be out there again though!

snlf4i.... to answer your question... TOO MUCH!!! LOL Well I kinda got screwed at the resort cuz you can put 3 people in a cabin which splits the cost 3 ways (the cabins are $99/night). 2 other people were gonna go and share the cabin with me, well a week prior they both backed out and it was too late to cancel my reservations, so needless to say I had to fork the whole $437 bill myself. Also while we were there the only places they had to eat were rediculously overpriced, so I spent a good chunk on food there too. Then a sweater and a couple t-shirts and such. Then the rest of the trip, food, hotels, gas, etc. Lets just say I left with almost $1800 and came back with about $250 (to my name). My bike payment ($178) got deducted from my bank account though too while I was gone, so that's also part of it. It was worth it though, I had SOOOOOOO much fun!!!

incubus182, my camera I just bought before I left on the trip... it's a Sony DSC-P200... 7MP. I LOVE this camera! Super easy to use and takes some pretty sweet pictures. I was going back and forth between several different ones, this one a Nikon one and a Canon. Really glad I picked the one I did! Oh and the Camel bike is pretty sweet... it's actually a chick that rides it, and her husband rides the black 1K RR. They did all that themselves, just painted the whole bike plain yellow then put all the Camel stickers on... came out really good

Anyways thanks for all the compliments!!

Nice pics! If I were to ride that far, I'd need one of those foam rings for a while. Did you have to do any service on the bike during your trip? ie; oil changes or chain adjustments?
Thanks!! Only thing I had to do was tighten the chain (which stretched ALOT!!) and of course clean and lube it too. I wasn't able to do that often enough so that's probably why it stretched so much. I already replaced the chain the day after I got back cuz it had stretched so much. Other that that though, just checked my tire pressures often and that was it! I usually do oil changes every 5000 anyways so it worked out perfect mileage wise for that... changed it right before I left and now ready again, so I'll do that tomorrow.

I need the skins that you have on your bike. I took one 3500 mil trip and had to get a new skin just after I got back. But at 130mph most of the trip It will eat them up faster.
