[QUOTE="1911, post: 1412620, member: 14133"] My wife and I did big trips in 2017 and 2018. Hit Yellowstone both times. Early June in 2017 and Early Sept in 2018. The spring trip was better. Whatever you do, do it while the kids are in school. We spent a couple hours each at Rushmore, Little Big Horn, Wall Drug and The Badlands after leaving Yellowstone and thought it time well spent. That might be a little south of your route. It’s worth carrying passports just to go to Tim Horton’s. Each of our trips was over 8000 miles. I did an oil change with full synthetic and put on new tires right before the trip and finished the trips on the same oil and tires. That was two up, loaded heavy and pulling a trailer. I might not do that on a bike under warranty, but mine was looooong past warranty. If I did want to service the bike along the way I’d feel more comfortable whipping out the FJR assistance list and mooching off a forum member than rolling into a dealer with no recommendation. Drop in at my place and we’ll get you fixed right up, have a cup of coffee, and turn your map right-side-up. And oh, yea-Beartooth Pass! [/QUOTE]
