"Just got a call from him this afternon. He and his son are riding from Oroville, CA to Minot, SD. They seem to've made it across most of NV today without getting rained on, so their trip's been good so far. His son's on a Kawi 500 Vulcan. Might be an interesting story to tell, about riding that far on a 500cc bike. ;^)

After doing an official bunburner on my 'comfy' 1100 while keeping up with my buddy's 'Connie', all I can say is OUCH! I'd hope they're stopping often! It reminds me why "Saddlesore" and "BunBurner" are such appropriate terms even if you're not in a rush.

But what an adventure! If they post a ride report, please pass it on.

My 98 1100 does. And I added the big engine guards which have to be loosened
and moved too. But considering how often the Yamaha dealership screwed up
the gaskets for the filter I decided to learn and do it myself even tho it's
a pain. I'd rather it not be dripping after the work is done!!!
