Back to Reality 4,000 Miles Later.

Yep. 4000 miles in a week. That new tire I put before the trip, let's just say it will need replacing on a couple months. I love, or I should say my bike loves Michelen Pilot Powers, but they do not last. Hot pavement, loaded bike and gale-force sidewinds across most of South Dakota and Iowa take their toll.

I went through Sturgis as the craziness was descending upon the area. Hundreds of bikers and trailer queens on their way. Manufacturers ringing all their goodies for this annual party.

The trip was fantastic, tiring but chocked-full of memories. Thanks Dad.
