Oh yes !! we made it back at 12:45am. 20hrs 45 min. It was easier than I thought it might be. The only problem we had, was my buddies fuel mileage took a dump when we hit the hills at 80mph, so we slowed down on the climbs, so we could stretch the tank range. 9hrs to the halfway point, but we took a few more breaks on the back half, and actually took about an hour and a half break during the heat of the day and ate a good meal.

Nothing new in the garage. I guess I should thank you guys for Helping the Missuz with her dilemma. When I buy my next bike, I'll have to try that deliver to my door thing...

ricors are the ****..... Installed them the night before I left. Completly changed on how your ride is.. This has to be the top mod for ride. That includes the True-Track & superbrace. Both were good add ons but this ride is a Mo' better.t

got home @ 7:00pm. Long day on the bike. Rained from Muskogee to Durant. Then it got hot.... Traffic was heavy but no stopping or accidents. 1500 miles this weekend. Ricor shocks worked great....

Good to see your home safe. Thanks for the update. Too bad you couldn't spread that rain out, so you could cool off periodically.
