Burnin' through a tank....

Not much gas left after that run. I gets pretty thirsty after 85 mph or so.

followed a VW last week at speeds 120 t0 140 mph for 20 miles, thirsty bitch at those speeds

My wife and I joined my brother for a nice leisurely two-day tour this past weekend. He peeled off for home as we came past Helena on Sunday afternoon. As we then rolled through the big sweepers in the canyons between Helena and our home in Butte, another rider caught up. We were running about 80 so I was somewhat impressed. The rider soon went around us and I spotted Idaho plates. I wondered...

When we got home, my wife said, "That was an FJR. correct?" I affirmed, then noted the Idaho plates. I speculated that it could be Spud, the long-time Forum member and contributor from Southeast Idaho. Well, guess who PM'd this a.m.? Yup, Spud was wondering if it was Marilyn and I he overtook outside of Butte. I've never met Spud yet I had an inkling it was him. I like this kind of happenstance. The Internet has shrunk our world.

Only possible due to a nice tailwind. And no motorists were alarmed, as the few that were on the road for this 200 mile stretch were gently overtaken...

Fun seeing Big Sky on the road too coming back home from my quick weekend blast up to C (eh) N (eh) D (eh)

Small world out there sometimes. Cool story.

Spud, I thought of you this last week. We attended a COG Rally in Colorado, and blasted across NE at those speeds (220 range) then saw some of UT near Moab (straight all day) and remembered a good ride w/ you in ID!!! Keep up the good rides, and thanks for befriending us COGgers!
