Thanks for the words Trev, I just signed off on a vacation for one of my General Managers who told me he's taking the 2 weeks to travel to the Grand Canyon and back... He was pondering borrowing one of my motorcycles to ride out there but opted out to take his car. The more I think about it the more jealous I get... This year I won't be able to break away at all for a cross country trip but in July I do intend on trying to get back down to the Blue Ridge Parkway and back up it. Note, that's if I can get this department running like a well oiled machine. Looking good for it though, it's been one of the greatest challenges I have ever had and if I can get this department running correctly so it becomes self sufficient then that will be my reward.Thanks Jedz,
i left my house Sunday May 8th. Caught the 1030 ferry to port Angeles and arrived in Vegas Wednesday night.
then golfed on Thursday wedding Saturday and left Sunday to come home.
im now on the a Anacortes ferry for Sidney, 2 hours, which is 15min from my house.
So total travel days were 7. Not sure of my mileage yet but it should be around 5000kms.
so I leave my hotel this morning for a 30min ride to the ferry in the pouring rain. I'm riding along about more than halfway there on the interstate 5 when I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time seeing??? Then I realize I forgot my eyeglasses in my hotel...lol. I wanted to put them on last because I didn't want to get them wet while I packed up the bike in the rain.
yes, that's two pair of glasses I have lost on the trip. Luckily my wife brought two pair with her. Lol... My wife will be impressed.
fitting way to end the trip.
tganks for following along guys.
And finally guys.... If you want to do a cross country trip...do it! Life is way to short. Do it while you can.
Looking forward to getting on an old Gs when I get home.
i may even have a new one (Gs)in the garage soon. Stay tuned.
My heart is in the mountains. But I really want to go out and see the bad lands in South Dakota and then make my way to the Rockies and down to the Grand canyon (Hit Bonneville on the way) and then back east. Thanks for the share on this adventure! I will do it, perhaps I'll plan it for next year! I need some adventure in my life and I feel like the world is passing me by. I can't wait to get some much needed time off.
Oh shoot some pics of the New GS! I got a shafty GS650L last week and commute with it around town and Addison county. Something fun about ridding a bike that's older then me. That in it's self is a mini adventure every-time I hit the road with it! Love it!!!
Ride safe! I'm always tuned in!
