Rode up to broken bow , and then rounded my trip around ouachita with a bunch of ducati fellas who were heading up to North Carolina for giro alpino. Ryan is on the other Multistrada rally!

Day 1: 444 miles. Rode through back roads around Athens, Tyler, and stopped at Sulphur springs. It was hot but back roads always help you stay cool. Hydration was key

Stayed in broken bow at an Airbnb. Friendly locals. My rear wheel shoes some fluid leak under the brake caliper . We touched and sniffed only find out that Neighbour’s dogs marked their territory - it was piss.

Day 2: I rode with the bunch of good people through Mena, and to rover through route 28, then down to story and parted ways at hot springs.

Rode 700 miles back home to Austin. Stopped in Linden Texas between hot springs and Austin for fuel and hydration. The Multistrada is a mile eater.

I discovered that what I now believe was one of my cats, had squirt my engine case the other day and of course I panicked thinking I had a fluid leak, as it was just parked in the shop. Of course I gave it the real test... humm, looks like oil, doesn't smell like oil, doesn't feel like oil, doesn't taste like antifreeze either.. ahh sheesh. That cat doesn't like Hondas.

So funny! We laughed hard when we found the two dogs wagging their tail claiming innocence
 
I rode for an endurance team back in 1984 on an RZ-350. The name of the team was, "YOUR IN ON IT." YOUR is not misspelled, it was meant to be combined with the second word to be pronounced as Urine on it. Our team shirt had a picture of a dog next to the rear tire of an RZ and the dog's leg was hiked up in the ready position. Needless to say, our sponsorship was very limited. Nice ride, thanks for sharing.
