[QUOTE="Jackson, post: 301114, member: 3141"] I'm really enjoying your reports and photos. Keep up the good work! I can relate to the issue of stopping to smell the flowers, vs. the irrestible pull to get back on the bike. I recenlty completed the Iron Butt Association 50 national parks/25 state tour, and I continually found myself at a great national park having to decide between seeing more of the park, or hitting the road again on a great motorcycle. Often, I was back on the bike before I knew it, making myself a (lame) promise to come back later and spend more time there. I was in no hurry, but there I was again, cruising at FJR nominal speeds. And then there's the issue of not wanting anyone in front of me. It has become a reflex....I'm behind a vehicle.... twist the throttle just a bit... maybe a downshift, and even without thinking about it, I'm past that pesky vehicle, and the road is beautifully open again in front of me. I'll come back and visit those parks again. I promise. [/QUOTE]
