    My buddy and I took a pretty epic 9 state, 12 state journey and covered 4,275 miles. We saw a lot of amazing sights in these Western United States. I took my '03 R1150RT and my pal Max took his '08 Kawi C14. I made a little movie to chronicle our adventure... hope you enjoy it.



    Thanks,
    -Dave

    Thanks Marc. I had a Kawi C10 before, and liked that bike, but I wanted an RT for a long time and finally bought it in January of this year. -Dave

    Thanks for posting the movie, boys. Fun watching it and I found it interesting the effects one can do with videos these days.

    It's nice to see two friends get a long so well and have wives rooting you on as you leave. I wonder if life would be different if I owned a beemer. :rolleyes:

    Or if your lives would be different if you ownd a HD? lol I can see it now, you guys sneaking out of the house pushing your HDs away from the house but the wives wake up and catch you, run after you thowing kitchen appliances "you bastards, get back here" :):banghead::arghh:

    My buddies wife looks shit up on Sturgis and all she sees is naked women. Then she calls my wife and all hell breaks out. Welcome to my world.

    I'm starting to hate you guys ;)

    Really enjoyed the vid. I had no idea how much the Canadian education system had misled me about American Geography. North Dakota holds the Statue of Liberty! the lions and tigers that roam the plains of Yellowstone, and America's failing infrastructure system, with underground pipes that burst like clockwork. Very cool. Buy Dave some Harley T shirts, can't just buy all the superhero shirts at Old Navy! Excellent entertaining job guys!:)
