With a monstrous 43hp, you don't really get up to speeds where wind protection is an issue. But that being said you are quite pleased to cruise along in the 100-130kph range. You can still overtake easily enough by nudging it up to 150kph or so, but it becomes a bit too much bother to hold it at...

Thanks! :D Haha no......maybe I should start one. I just want ALL the bikes. Honestly still frothing at the mouth for an FJR but all the ones in good shape are too pricey. I can't put that much into a single machine.....yet. I actually bought race plastics and 6 sets of takeoffs for the R1...

Woke up next morning. Had set up the tent in the dark. Love this tent. So easy to throw together. You can do it blindfolded with one hand tied behind your back. Loaded up again....got pretty quick at it. 10 minutes to go time: Nice place to camp: The moon. No reason why. Hmm...

Haha, my big adventure.....just a university field trip for some.... Cool place to live, was like looking at a painting in real life standing at that fence: Back on the road to somewhere else. Nearing the end of the day: It was a good day that day.

Nice road cutting through scenic woods/lakes. Explored around and pretty soon I figured out that just dicking around and exploring on my own is not actually getting me anywhere truly epic. So I ask some local guys for some good backroads. Very glad I did... Climbing is the easy part...

End of day. "Roughing it" Montana/Idaho Honestly every time I pass through Montana it blows me away. I always just plan for it to be some random state to just rip through quickly on the way to more interesting places, but it always surprises me. Guess that's because I take the random...

Revenge Tour 2011 Withdrawl? Yup. So here comes some some more photo-spam. It helps.... Alright. So anyway, had a GS for a couple months this summer. Decided to do a bit of a "revenge tour" to make things right from the previous year's "eventful" ride...

Thanks boys. Haha, I appreciate it. An FJR? God I hope so. I want one extremely badly but I have only so much in the budget for riding and I refuse to get rid of bikes I have. I want to build up a stable and have something in every big category. An FJR is the perfect machine in many scenarios...

I come up to a fork in the road. One road has a sign post saying “This will take you to such and such area via such and such road” and the other road has a sign post with a car symbol with an ‘X’ through it. It says “this road is not maintained and travel is not recommended”. LOL….not...

Just perfect. I stopped off to fuel up. I glanced at a map. I thought to myself….okay, you’ve had the sport portion of the trip….now it’s time to do some REAL adventuring. Can an FZ6 cross a river?? Let’s hope so! Haha. I figured the “retarded” bit of the scoreline would...

Oregon just feels so god damned epic. It's so lush and fresh. The roads are clean. The traffic is light. I loved it. I can't wait to go back. Oregon > California in a lot of ways.

The roads were still fun though:

Climbing higher now: This was pretty sweet: Quite cold tbh:

This is worth any sacrifice. It is beyond addictive. Southern California lives up to the hype and then some. I’ve seen some stretches of road in South Africa and in Australia that are similar in terms of landscape/roads. But this is within reach. It is practical if you force it a little bit...

Well, after I fueled the Ducati guys’ tanks up a little bit like the motorcycle fuel tanker than I was, we got rolling to pick up a spare rear race tire one of them had. The pace from this point was quite slow as we nursed my bike down the canyon roads. I was pretty pissed to be quite honest...

Started from Edmonton, Alberta. Yeah….the first 6 hours are a drone haha. It’s pretty anti-climactic after the big buildup to the trip to drone through the prairies for the first day. But you should just do it. Honestly, the more you think about how great it will be or the more you try to set...

Don't overshoot...lol Man, was I glad I picked that road. It was great. I didn’t see anyone on the road and it really did feel like I was in a cozy little corner of Wyoming. I was a bit cautious working my way through here since I knew the possibility existed that someone would come blasting...

ALRIGHT. Finally. Still not done but maybe getting the ball rolling will encourage me to finish writing it all. Writing about it allows me to re-experience it. Love it. I tried to keep this chronologically accurate but I'm apparently retarded so some of it is an approximation. Pretty close...
