    SD kicked my ass today, going East to Fairmont, MN, on I-90 there was a steady 20-30 mph south wind that wouldn't let up which always fun, especially going around those car carriers and tractor trailers. BTW, in Walmart getting food I noticed it's okay in MN to wear shorts with black knee socks and white sneakers, no one notices.

    I loved Rushmore, one of the highlights of my trip. Did you go through Needles? That road is hairy. Nice bike btw.

    Next trip, next year I want to hit Crazy Horse, Badlands and other sights. This bike just glides, even going from Flagstaff to Blythe, California, where it was 115 degrees for hours that temp gauge didn't move @ 80MPH. BTW, she just broke 40,000 miles. I left Fairmont, MN and landed in Elkhart,IN

    BTW, snagged a left side engine cover for $52 shipped on ebay, now all I need is a right side mirror housing. You know those little birds that fly back and forth across the Interstate, I guess this is the way they cul the herd, poor fellow didn't make it. Death was instantaneous though he felt no pain. Luckily I carry JB Weld Plastic Weld and it worked like a charm. She's limping back from the cross country but by the time I'm done she'll be like new.

    That bird must've been displaying the red meatball

    I remember but now the baker wing won't stay in the open position. Every time you open it it closes as soon as force is applied. The last x-country I did in 2015 one of those birds hit me in the chest while going back and forth. It was like getting hit with a punch in the chest.

    He probably turned into a little red meatball, lots of deer roadkill and I saw a turtle yesterday walking like nothing on the side of the road
