Trip report with lots of pics is MANDATORY. Everything else is optional.

Enjoy the ride!

Absolutely! Keep an eye on my blog or scroll to the bottom and "follow" it and it will notify you when I've blogged about something.

I just left your website and watched the video on your bike, very nice. I thought I noticed you were using a throttle boss on your right grip. Have you ever tried using one on the left grip as well? I've found , especially on long rides, it is as much of a comfort add on as it is on the throttle. been using them in this manner (both grips) for quite a while and could not imagine an extended ride without them. Just a thought. Enjoy you trip, ride safe!

Ride safe and have a great adventure, then tell us all about it !

Clothes are mandatory, not optional. Wait....Jared, is your lovely wife going along?

I was just out to the Black Hills for a week and if you get a chance when you are at Mt Rushmore ride 16A (Iron Mountain Road), 242 and 87 (Needles Highway). So many nice roads there. Badlands loop (240) is a must see. 14A through Spearfish Canyon to Deadwood and on to Sturgis. Devils Tower in WY off I90 through Sundance. In Pa the Pa Grand Canyon is a nice area if you do Rt6 stop in Wellsboro, Pa.

Have a safe trip and call me the night before you leave on your leg into Vt.

**Jared** · 07-24-2012, 11:29 PM

Today was probably the longest day of the trip, riding 650 miles to Custer Sd. Not too much to see in southern Wy. I'm looking forward to spending sometime in the Black Hills tomorrow.

You rock Jared! I don't know how you find the time to ride as much as you do, but I'm between being really proud and really jealous of you! :)

If you get a chance ride through the Badlands National Park it can be fun and adds about 1-2 hours to the trip depending on how much you stop.

**Jared** · 07-25-2012, 09:35 PM

Day of rest, site seeing, and LOTS of rain.

**crazygene49** · 07-25-2012, 10:33 PM

Great pics.

Yellow Jacket · 07-26-2012, 04:53 AM

There's no doubt about it . . . I am just flat out jealous!

Hope you have a great and a safe trip!

**Jared** · 07-26-2012, 07:43 PM

Today was a shorter day, only riding 450 miles. Those of you who have been on I90 know that it has a lot of touristy stops, which were fun.
