Smile Takin' the new Fuel Moto 107 build to Deadwood tomorrow

Just changed the oil after 1000 miles on the build and ready to go. Ride to Deadwood in the a.m., ride around the hills a little Saturday (16A maybe), end up in Rapid Saturday p.m., and ride home Sunday.
Now I just have to figure out the best route to get to I-90 with relevant parts of I-29 closed, as well as some state hwys, do to the F'n floods. I sure don't want to go through Nebraska - then I'd have to tote a skid lid.

Take Hwy 2 through the sandhills in Nebraska. It's a pretty nice ride. Not sure how the grasshoppers are this year but my Dad told me they were jumping all over when he went through there. He had grasshopper legs hanging off his earlobe and all kinds of **** like that. The wife and I didn't experience anything like that.

Oops, I skipped over the part where you don't want to go through Nebraska. Looks like the back roads up the Iowa side for you.

Just rode mine to New york, 1804 miles. The FM 107 ran flawless the whole time. averaged about 42 mpg. Probably would have gotten better mileage, but one of the guys in our crew decided that 85 was a good speed to cruise at. Sure made Ohio go by fast though.

I'm jealous. I love Deadwood, we make sure we stop there on the way to and from Wyoming every year when the guys and I go P-Dog hunting.

(I'm jealous of your FM107 also)

Have fun!!!!

Have a great trip!

Leaving for the Smoky Mountains tomorrow, going for 8 days.

I have about 500 miles on my Fuelmoto 107". Runs perfectly (knocking on wood).

IF you get over to Hill City be sure to stop @ the
Shady Lady Lounge & Casino for some pops.
Some real good people there.
