The little caf? I ate dinner and breakfast on the way east ward. On the way back I ate at the http://www.ironhorsecafemt.com/ and it was by far the best meal I ate while on the road! I decided to get a motel room instead of camping (Hey Trevor!) as it started to rain as I entered Montana. I was wet, tired and hunger so I left the tent and sleeping bag on the bike and stayed at the "Lewis & Clark" motel. I thought it was expensive but grew to appreciate and despise it later in the trip.

$285 makes the trip all the much cooler. Great pics also.
Couple of years ago I rode to Maryland for a week for a work certification. My friend thought it was unbelievably cool that I rode a 30 year old bike there.
I didn't quite understand his being impressed.... Seemed normal to me......

Day 3 on theroad
After about150 miles on the road Tuesday morning I'm in Billings Montana and I spy aSuzuki dealership on the frontage road and I think to myself, "I shouldget off and buy a set of plugs for the bike, as it might fix that slightroughness in the bike's idle". There are those brief moments I have, onoccasion, where I ask myself, where did that thought come from. Am lucky orsomething! So I pull off the Interstate at the next exit a mile down the roadand zip to the dealership.
I can'tremember what number plug the bike uses so I take a look at the #1 plug. It's setting in alittle pool of oil that seems to be coming from the valve cover gasket on theintake side between #1&2. F&A! I resolve to get the plugs and continueriding for say, 30 miles or so to get a sense of how much oil is coming out.Which is what I do....
Interstate90 in this part of Montana follows the Yellowstone river which lies to thenorth. You can see it close and in the distance marked by the willow treesalong its bank. As I drive eastward from Billings, the farms become fewer, withmore vacant land between and few towns. It's getting hot by now, low 90's and Ibegin to think, "Where would prefer to break down"? Near a Suzukidealership, motels and shade or on a shade-less Montana plain? I turn around...

I get to thedealership and pull the tank and yes it is the valve cover gasket. I havegasket compound (thx azr) with me but I am only a 1000 miles into a 6000 mile adventure...I need a permanent fixnot a Band-Aid. I order a gasket and half moons and had them overnighted. Theclerk at the dealer (32 years old, one younger than my bike!) said that's goingto be expensive, a$100 or so. Well so was the motel room.I was told to expect the parts to arrive thenext day around noon. They'd call my cell.
I head offto find a motel room. It's about 2:30 and motel 6 is booked already. I hatemotel 6, really I do, for many reasons! As I leave to check another motel Inotice there is about 4 ounces of oil below my bike form the leak now. Nothingon the previous stops. Getting worse. I drive about 1/4 mile to another motel.They have rooms $140 a night, but I spy that they have a nice row of shadetrees on the back side of the property and a fairly level lot. This place isabout a mile from the dealer, a restaurant next door and I have a bottle ofCrown Royal.
Next day: Inever trust FedEx or any delivery company. Check out time is 11:00 and I don'twant to get a room for another night if I don't need it. The motel will hold my room till 5:00 withoutcharging me and I get a call about 10:30am, the part is in. I walk to thedealer and back and install it.

The red that starts to appear it the top of these hill starts to appear as I approach North Dakota. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is just over the border in North Dakota and it is characterized by these red bands in the hills, at least from what I saw along the Interstate. I really want to stop and take a look around in T.R N.P but it was late, I was a day behind, needed mileage and a motel room.

I forgot this link for the road I just covered from Livingston, Mt ( Three Forks is where I stayed) to Bismarck ,ND. It really is not easy to recall pictures from photo bucket in an order, get Google maps and not want lose it! I didn't quite make it to Bismarck but you get the general idea. So here are some of the thoughts I have about now: Why are you not sight seeing more? Your spending your time and money to do this, you need to get your best bang for your buck. What goals do you have for this trip?
If your going to try to travel 3000 miles on a trip how many miles in a day do you want to travel 250, 350, 500. Choosing 250 a day, you'd have a few hours to sight see but it would take you almost 2 weeks to get there. then spend a week with the niece and then 2 weeks going back. I've done 2 1/2 week trips before and after 2 weeks I'm starting to miss my home life and wonder about 5 weeks on the road. Then there is the cost of 5 weeks. I'm not that interested in hanging in crowded tourist areas, looking a "Old Faithful" from a concrete path, or seeing Mt. Rushmore. Maybe Crazy Horse would be an event! As I drove by Teddy Roosevelt's National Park I questioned my approach, but then the Mt. Winnebago motor home that I had been playing tag with while I white knuckled a hurricane strength cross wind (I almost got religion!) for about thirty miles, turned off to go to the park. You've seen this RV. It has 2 bicycles on the back that bounce like untethered boobs at Carnival and would take out the windshield of the SUV they are towing, if they ever totally broke free. No I should keep going. Shake the regret off, lean into the wind, there is only a few more miles to a meal, a brew and a bed.

I saw just about everything dead along the side of the road, but no dinosaurs.

Charlie, what did you do about regular maintenance such as oil changes? Did you carry supplies (filter, drain pan, etc) with you or have someone else do the work?
I changed the oil at my niece's house in Ontario, Canada. They had a pan and a funnel I could use. I didn't worry about doing a filter change. Canadian Tire had my oil on hand (@ Canadian prices mind you!) and they even took the old to be recycled. I wish I had brought a bit of WD-40 to lube my brake lever as it became a bit sticky with the rain I drove through. I would have used it on the valve cover gasket. I have two bottles at home and was too cheap to buy on the road. Really prefer "Tri-flow" for light lubing. That's all the maintenance there was. Well air and top off the oil as needed. I found the bike uses almost no oil if you don't down shift to pass and wind it out doing so.

Excellent story and pictures Charlie. I thought Kansas was sparsely populated, Montana must be really desolate. I once bit off a piece of New Mexico and found myself 190 miles away from the nearest town with about a 180 mile fuel range. It can get kind of nerve racking. I'm glad you had a fun safe journey. I can't wait to get back on the road again. You meet some iinteresting people on the road. How about you Charlie, any interesting people along the way?
I had a couple of close calls in Minnesota and South Dakota for gas. Head winds and an 80 mph speed limit play L with the point at which your reserve goes on. To have it kick if 35 miles sooner than you expected.... you can sweat bullets.
I'm not real out going so I don't meet that many people. This "Trappers Inn" I stayed in offered a really nice discount on one meal and two free drinks in their bar. The food was OK and the service was minimal. The bar was filled with some interesting locals. The gal bartender had a great sense of humor and there were a couple of young guys there talking about their trip down to Sturgis. One kid got a little mouthy with the bartender and she tossed an ice cube in his drink at 6 feet and splashed him in the face. We all laughed, including the kid. I never go to a bar. It was fun.

Great story/trip Charlie, I have been following along. The fact that you can buy a $300 bike and are able to make it road worthy and do on the fly valve cover changes make it just that much sweeter!

If you are traveling from state to state and you need a map, always check the rest areas and visitors. Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming,MIchigan and Minnesota all gave me a map if I asked for one. Others may have them as well but I didn't ask. North Dakota had free Wi-Fi at their rest areas. I think this is a really good idea! Kudos North Dakota!
I liked North Dakota, well aside from the wind, the road construction and the missing 80 MPH speed limit signs. There was so much construction that all the speed limit signs were 70 mph.
How soon we get spoiled. It was starting to get green. Before I knew it I was in Minnesota, Yahoo!

Am I suppose to see the "dinner guest" in the photo...?
Great Story. Great Adventure. Great Pictures.

Good parking lot repair story and picture.
I too have had cam cover gasket oil leak a few hundred miles from home. Just tightening some cam cover screw (that had been ignored for too long) took care of it.

This is roughly the route I did on a Friday. I am always concerned about traveling through big cities during rush hour, especially ones I'm not familiar with. I commuted in the San Francisco Bay area for 24 years, and live in LA early in my driving career so it's nothing new to me, just seriously concern. I was in Chicago once in 1972 with my Grandparents because my Grand mother wanted to re-experience her childhood memories of shopping at Marshall Fields(?) and we got lost. It think if I hadn't mentioned to my Grandfather that the afternoon sun was on out left (west) and if we didn't head for it we'd be in Wisconsin be fore to long. These thoughts caused me to wake at 4:30 in the morning wanting to leave as soon as possible. I was thinking I'll be hitting Minneapolis for the morning commute and Chicago for the afternoon. The free breakfast is at 6:00, so shower, pack, and check the bike. Well, let's get going and have some fun! (fool!)
Minneapolis at quarter to 7:00 is pretty nice. The traffic was pretty light by Bay Area standards and with the exception of one single lane, left hand exit for I-94 that snuck up on me (thank god there was no one behind me as I merged
nthego: left!!!) Minneapolis and Minnesota have grown to mythical status over the years from listening to "Prairie Home Companion" and I was left with only kind thoughts as I found myself crossing the Mississippi river into Wisconsin. Did I mention this is my 45th state of our 50?! Initially I really liked Wisconsin. The land along I-94 reminded me of portions of Virginia or West Virginia, with green hills, mixed with farm and forest. I was enjoying for quite a while...until all these idiotic drivers and fuel tanker trucks, who were barreling along at 80mph, 10 feet off the bumper of their fellow ee-gits vehicle, passing and weaving back an forth, with and without signals. If I left room for a Honda Civic to get in front of me a Chevy Silverado would wedge in there, and signal by taking a drink of coffee in his left hand! Worse than 405 in L.A and the 580 McArthur freeway headed to the Bay Bridge combined. Just as everyone seem to settle down from trying to clear the Interstate of me, it decided to **** like cats and dogs for a good 1/2 hour. Being the drowned rat I was , I headed for a Subway shop and gas station for lunch. I was joined by 25 other Harleys.....
After I dried out at bit, fueled up and chatted with a couple who were returning from Sturgis, each on there own Harley and headed to New York. The lady being the expert navigator of the two was convinced that deviating off I-94/90 and taking I-39 south was the best way to avoid the pending Chicago mess. I figured what the heck! Illinois here we come!
I traveled back and forth through Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio as a kid, in our military induced tours and I have some memories of what the country side is like. Let me tell you that the roads in Illinois may be wider, but they are in the same state of ill repair as they were in 1966 in one of my more memorable trips. One thing about riding a motorcycle in stop and go traffic, you really get a good look at the roads and exposed rusty rebar in the concrete bridges and overpasses. I now understand the grumblings of inapt government bureaucracies in the Chicago area, Who thought of tolls on an Interstates and then chose a $1.90 as the toll?!!!!! If you are unprepared to pay a toll and don't have money, ready it is a pain to take off gloves, get the wallet out of the jacket pocket, get that fiver out and give it to the totally bored young lady, who I tell to keep the dime as I see four dollars in dimes laying on the ground at my feet. I respectfully suggest, pay more in fuel taxes, car registration, have a bake sale but fix these roads and dump the tolls on the Interstate!

My 46th state!!!! Am I whining too much??

Good thing you did not pick up any of those discarded dimes outside the toll booth Charlie, or you may have spent the night in the Sheriff's house.
Day 7 : New Buffalo, MI to Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada

My bike Saturday morning when I woke up.
I had many reasons to come through Michigan on my way to Canada. I wanted to meet some GS'ers along the way and Buffalo Bill and Redman are frequent posters and it made sense to try. It didn't work out that Redman and I would connect but I thoroughly enjoyed this state. About 40 miles Northeast of New Buffalo, which as Bill pointed out, is a town of Dowagiac, which some of my forefather settled in the late 1840's. Being interested in genealogy and history it seemed a natural to visit these graves of my 3 and 4th great parents. I know many people will glaze over here with disinterest, please excuse me please.....

Sarah Delevan Stebbins, my 4th great grandmother, wife of Lewis Stebbins. The youngest child of a French Huguenot who served in the American Revolution as a Major. She once refused to go the her church because she knew her pastor was a "Tory". Love a spunky woman! Her father is buried in Patterson, NY. I've found his grave and plan on one visiting it someday.
Buffalo Bill rode with me to the town of Dowagiac from his house in New Buffalo. Once again it was nice to meet someone in person I seen post on the forum over the years. I was fearful of all the "Yard Sale Folks" out that day searching for that bargain. Cheers Bill!
From here I was headed to the town of Port Huron and the border on Ontario, Canada. Once I hit the Interstate the traffic was great and the was clear. Weather sunny, mixed with serious clouds.
I've got a bit more to post on this leg and will try to post it later today.

Visiting the church yard would have been interesting for me, but I figured You'd start to blubber and embarrass me. (HA!!)
Fact is riding my bicycle and motorcycle around rural Berrien County I've found many-many small, tiny and family grave yards.
Always interesting reading the dates and names.
