Don't know your age. If you're over forty , buy a large bottle of Aleve and take two every six hours till you get back.

Thanks, and a good supply of Tucks.

Very cool tool. Its size is deceiving.

Keep yourself hydrated and the sun off your bare skin IE Mesh gear. And make sure to stop and stretch out enough.

If you can stuff a small tent or tarp in your sac. There are stretches of flat land, with absolutely no cover, that will expose you to all elements in case you have to wait for a tow or have to pull over due to extreme weather conditions. These storms pop up out of nowhere and are a bitch (pic #2). Also, Spot satellite tracker is a great device that allows a loved one to track you on a computer and has a (911) button for emergencies. Basic tracking starts at $99 a year, well worth it. http://www.amazon.com/SPOT-Inc-SPOT-.../dp/B000YTZV74. Last thing, very important, ALWAYS keep your phone on your person in case you get thrown from the vehicle. That phone is not going to do you any good while you've got a busted leg and can't get to it.

If I had a dollar every time I heard THAT! lol

If you have set places along your route, you can mail a few things to save space in the bags. I also carry a few laundry detergent pellets when I travel so I pack less. Not just for the bike, but for travel over all.

Did 550 miles yesterday and around 400 today. Saw a black B at a W? Burger joint in El Paso Tx yesterday and toured the Alimo today. The Alimo was a sobering experience.

Arizona and New Mexico had 75 MPH speed limits and Texas has 80 MPH. WooHoo !!! Legal 80 !!!

Texas should open up a road kill cafe chain. A lot of carcuses to choose from.

Tomorrow we should make Louisiana.

The B did not burp any more radiator fluid today. We had to cut today's miles short to patch the Vision's front fender which still has to go in for the recall.

Had a bit of wind today which made a noticible difference on fuel milage. So far we have had great weather with just heat to deal with. Last 2 days we 80's and 90's with just a short time in tripple digits.
