              Great news Bill - I was pulling for you. I believe it was Jimmy Buffett that said - We do things for the stories we can tell. You now have some great stories.

                    I enjoyed reading the post of your adventure. I had a 81 GS450L in High School and took that bike everywhere. I never dreamt of putting a trailer on it but it had a Vetter just like yours. Congrats on a bon adventure.

                        By any chance have you been approached yet by Hollywood for your story? I sense a movie in the not too distant future.

                          Glad you completed the trip safely, and hats off to the GSR network for helping you along.

                          Definitely an intense trip.....

                            I'm finally completely rested up.
                            I want to speak with any of you great GSR members about my trip.
                            You folks are excellent people and I look forward to speaking to any of you and recounting all the different things I did on my trip. Thanks to all of you for being there. Bill
