While I had a good time I did come to the conclusion that I am not a "tenting with the motorcycle" kind of guy anymore. Too old for that crap.

I did get one flat front tire. Turned out the valve stem went bad. My ABS started acting up, and by the time i got home the last day it didn't want to idle correctly. So a few issues but I made it to Colorado and back ok otherwise.

Saw some cool scenery and a little wildlife ( no naked women) so it was overall a good trip. And no German women tried to hit me.

Glad your trip was good and only a couple little issues. I suppose since you went by yourself you have a ton of selfies to post up! LOL

Hopefully that flat wasn't on the side of the road!

Sounds like a fun trip. Got any pictures?

I was about 5-6 miles out of a town that had a motorcycle dealership. A nice older couple picked me up and brought me there. After about 2 hours or so I was back on the road. Glad there were no rattlesnakes where I pulled over. I was warned about them AFTER the fact.

Not really any pictures to share. I was too busy driving all the time.

Good morning guys...

The missus and I spent the whole day on the road yesterday and put on a little over 500 miles to go visit two places to see Toy Hauler fifth wheels.. Went from Kenyon (by Faribault) up to almost Duluth to the first place, then cut across the state to Little Falls to the second place. Then we got to play stop-n-go for the next 3 hours with the Brainerd to Twin Cities crowd.. Good thing we were in her Focus and not my truck. I would have had 10 Regens just from Little Falls to Rogers..

What are you looking for in a toy hauler Randy?

I have one...

Jay, sounds like a pretty good trip. Considering you were on the bike, I'm glad a German woman didn't hit you with the mirror...

That was not so bad then. Could have been worse if you would have had a rattlesnake visit you while changing it!

Hey Randy! So what are you looking for and what is the budget? We would be glad to help you spend some of your money!
