Bikeless vacation 1 Year ago

Decided to drive my wifes Town car to Arkansas instead of riding the Roadie. Out across Wyoming I was kind of glad I did, I would have had strong winds for hundreds of miles.

Made the 2150 miles in two days, same back. I met a rider in Kansas who was riding to Wisconsin who was 800 miles into his ride.
All in all though I didn't see that many riders out across there. It was good to get out across this great country again though and the Town Car drives and rides like a dream.

Got 42 more hours of vacation time coming this year and will probably take the bike to Reno, thats only about 600 miles, enough for an old fart.

Well boys, back to work tomorrow.
