    I know I know, this new title I accuired a few years ago has seemed to consume alot of my biketalk time. I do have a question though, I am gonna head out to join my son on his trip back to the house in May, Lafayette IN to Cheyenne WY, VIA Witchita KS I know of a few stops of interest in KS, CO, but between IN, and KS looking for suggestions, have about 4-5 days for the entire trip as I don't know his ship date yet. Gonna be a friggin hoot, ain't been out that far in about 4 years.

    Been in Kansas once but only to get the H out of there, nothing there. Came in from Missouri and ran into toll booths so recommend staying away from the interstates. Sounds like a fun trip though.

    Couple weeks Maddog and I are doing a trip down to AZ and around.

    well ended up a short trip 350ish day one, worked for a few days, then 700ish, he was ready when I arrived in west lafayette, strapped the goods on and got back a hundredish to blomington before the glitch happened, nothen serious just a bad ground.
    saddled up from bloomington dodged s few thunder boomers and was to York before a shower was decided but only lasted about 30miles, laid up in Kearney and finished it off the next day. found we get about 40% better fuel milage if I'm in the lead, so to sum it up, first iron butt ride for my second son (on a piglet) was a success and damn good.
