    Tomorrow I get my front Metzler 888 and my rear Darkside tire on.
    A copy of our ride itinerary that the ride leader gave us this weekend.

    It's a nice schedule, and a nice plan. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for your group. If I'm on the road that long, I usually have "do nothing day", which could cover rain, etc. Then I may find a laundro mat, that way I don't need to haul so many cloths. Some of those roads might not sound very appealing, if you get bad weather, so be flexible, and have fun!

    Our ride leader is a riding machine, me , not so much, especially w/dealing w/a sciatic nerve issue for the past (3) weeks, I plan days off to screw off.

    Good Idea with the days off. There's tons of stuff to see on a trip like yours, and sometimes you just gotta stop and check things out. Enjoy it!

    Vacation camera

    Looking at the new Gopro Silver 4, for my Yellowstone trip, supposed to be more user friendly and is the only one of the Gopros that has a screen that allows you to see what you are shooting at, any input. Thanks in advance.

    Having a screen to let you see what you are recording is fine, for "non-motorcycle" time.

    While riding the bike? You will not be staring at that screen, I hope....
    Maybe save a few bucks..... My $0.02.

    No but when I mount it for riding I can see what direction and what the camera will be shooting, a few degrees off, in guessing were to point it can make the difference between good vacation photo's/movies or bad.

    Waking up at Bob's Resort in Gettysburg SD. Darkseid tire @ 43# feels great, Bushtech trailers well @ north of 80 mph, 212 out of Twin Cities to SD is long and curveless, must be like Florida.lol
    F6b does not run well on farm/recreational grade diesel but if you drain it out,fill it up w/ 91 it will barely idle for a minute then run like a champ when the 91 hits the lines,don't ax me how I know this.
    Mistakes were made! Bseg
