Ten Day Ride.... Lots of pics

Hey, just got through compiling the pics and finishing the narrative chronicling the adventures of our annual ten day sportbike trip.

All laid out on my blog...

http://cyemm.blogspot.com/

Caution, if you connect to the net with anything less than cable/dsl, it'll take a LONG time to load.

Enjoy

Re: Ten Day Ride.... Lots of pics

Wow...Great story and photos. I've never attempted a ride like that on a sport bike. You had to be exhausted after each day. I've done as much as a 400 mile day on a sport bike. I never wanted to get back on the next day.

Re: Ten Day Ride.... Lots of pics

that was a nice web log. great pics and i dig the writing style
(e.g. "Downshifting four times, I go full stick, the front tire losing interest in the pavement entirely").

...but i agree with Loki, my a$$ starts to hurt after about 4hrs on the sportbike.

Re: Ten Day Ride.... Lots of pics

Bob,
Great story, great trip, great pix. We met the same butterflys leaving Susanville heading for Lassen coming home from the girly ride. They did leave a mess, and we were greatful for the full face shields. Redwoods, Tahoe and Crater Lake in the same trip, impressive!!
