Yesterday... started at 7 AM (met at Rudy's in Frisco for some breakfast tacos - I learned something new, and it's good ) to about 7:30 PM. I had 523 miles on the clock for the trip.
Few thoughts:
- Bike performed flawlessly; awesome machine!! Climbing hills etc... just shrugged it off...
- I am thinking that I need to do some windshield research; it was not bad but at times, with HWY and some side wind, I got buffeted a bit. Not eye pinball but still...
- Crampbuster ROCKS!
- Passanger pegs rock! (for me) It allows me to change position significantly and be quite comfortable...
- Beadrider seat cover rocks!

Started bright and early:
Rudy's breakfast tacos... mmmm... 3 of us went:
Started kind of boring:
I think it is Oklahoma:
Getting somewhere:
Somewhat blurry, but one of many bridges we went over:
My buddies behind me:
It was just an awesome day:
Started on the Talimena Byway from Mena:
Sharkey likes!
Trees etc:
Nice road eh:
Sharkey likes!
Some sort of watch tower:
Awww, I likes:
Various:
Ah the smell of pine needless:
In lower areas already:
Yeah definitely getting close to Texas now:
Blurry but it says Welcome to Texas:
It ended on a somewhat dramatic note with storms rolling in from the South:
It started raining as I was pulling into the garage; I am guessing my two buddies got rained on...
It was fun!
