They are now here in Johnson City. We went out and ate mexican and got the oil changed in the 86. Not sure yet what we are going to do tomorrow. I would love to show them some good mountain road riding.

Oil changed on both bikes & did some sidestand work as well. Good to meet up with more of the VR family, as this trip progresses.

 

Left Venturous's (RandyA's) place this morning, soggy ride with thunderstorms. Didn't get as far as wanted in todays travels. So probably will not get to Wrongway's tomorrow, if more of the same weather. Now to try & figure out, which routes are still open.....

Got in a good visit, some good eating and a little maintenance. Was hoping to show them around the area some, but I believe they were a little tired of riding. We ate Mexican the first night with Steve (SGN) and took them to Golden Corral with Steve's lady Ann and my lady Linda. I don't think Golden Corral made much profit on us with their buffet.

As you can see, we also had a full moon.

Nope, no cell coverage here, had to use wifi & skype to make any calls.

Now that I'm back at home, with the summer wandering finished. Here is a map of the main routes, but not all of the side trips.

The ballpark figure for total milage is 10,000, as I forgot to note the odometer on the 86 prior to starting, but knowing I put much less than 1,000 on it, since buying it for this trip.

Rocket, what kind of gas were you using in the bike? That Canadien gas must get great gas mileage - seeing that you only stopped at gas stations in Canda - :rotf::stickpoke:

 

Glad to see you both are back home safe - can see a movie now - Mr. Rockets Wild Ride!:doh:

Probably less than that Mike, because of the I 29 flood detour. We stayed at the Omaha motel 6 on the south side, before heading west on I 80 the next day.

Crap! Now I really feel bad. You were within 8 miles of me. Sorry to have missed you guys.

 

Mike

 

No need to feel bad Mike, we wanted to get cooled off & I didn't think to check, whom was in the area.

Yay Rocket you made it home and had quite a trip to boot. Teri n I loved hanging with you and the old duffer. You will need to plan a western states trip soon... keep the adventures alive and thriving.

By the way Rocket you appear to have a bunch of coloring to do on your states traveled map. Guess that is a job for those days when you just can't get out there to ride eh?
