Grand Cane, LA | That's the kind of trip I made when I first got my Vision. Never been on a trip more than 500 miles until I got the Vision. Mine was 11 days, 15 states and 5260 miles. It was sort of a tribute trip with my brother for my dad's passing. Took his ashes to Klamath Falls, Oregon per his wishes. Louisiana all the way to Oregon and then whatever we could find to stop at. Best trip I ever been on. My brother and I now make a yearly trip to random destinations but our trips have to last at least 7 to 10 days. Have fun! |

Perry Hall, MD | Great write up and photos.
Your accounting of going into a restaurant at closing time sounded like you were describing my experience. Definitely different attitudes between the cook and the hostess/waitress. |

Sand Rock, AL United States | Gotta go back for Yellowstone. I had to bypass it in 2012. Good to leave something undone so we have an excuse to go back. |

Agreed Jim Tom! In our travels we like to mix in favorite rides and locations with new experiences.
One of the coolest things about travelling on a motorcycle is the great people you meet along the way.
It seems every day we meet someone who is kind, funny or interesting. |

Sand Rock, AL United States | I agree, you put yourself out there on a bike and people are drawn to that. We meet so many people when bike traveling. Riding causes me to be more open to others and make connections. Cage travel is just that , a cage. |

Central Wisconsin | Jim nice work on all the details. We can relate to your out West trip. To bad we didn't run in to you at the AVR in Spirit Lake this year.
