    The 'around the US' ride is on my list as well. Being from Minnesota, I think I will break it into two trips to make it easier to get it accomplished. Do east one year, and west the next.

    We were about 1000 miles short of completing our around the US tour in 2008 when my bike broke down and had to be trailored home.

    Our next big trip will be Key West to Alaska!?

    So glad to see this thread continuing on. I have had some crappy riding weather here in Michigan but will be rolling 4000 miles this week. Still have a chance of 6000 before the first of July.

    Bikes scare the hell out of me.. but my car (well, one of them) is faster than most bikes, so I can go hop in it and get the same rush but be safer.

    The only way I'm beating things on the 250 is bracket racing. I managed to win everyone I race that way. The liter bikes always end up so confused :bigsmile:

    edit: ahahaha I read that "windy days are for drag racing" ahahaha....It's sunny out and I'm in studying...my mind is playing tricks on me :p

    Currently learning. I have been riding on the back of bikes all of my life, but this is my first time learning to ride myself. I have a 2009 HD 1200 Custom and a 1999 HD 880.

    Yea, that is because they do not know how to launch one consistently .....

    Those little bikes are a PITA when you have to bracket race against them .......

    AND, they are a blast on the twisties !!!

    I've let a few laughers hop on my bike and do a couple twisties and then suddenly there's nothing but compliments out of them :p

    It's hilarious racing against a 250 on a larger bike...you're kinda just watching them at the end of the finish line before you start lol. And you still catch up and then you hear they win and you're like what? *deflate*

    I was in an accident a few years back and on the road first the first time in a few. I just noticed my tires squaring...I'm obviously doing to many work runs and not enough twisties. A little more nervous about it I guess. Sad times...was wondering why my turns were beginning to feel odd.
