, WI | The Vision made it to Prudhoe Bay!!! I'm heading home, only 2100 miles to go. Today I rode through the Northern Rockies. 100's of miles of winding mountain roads. I love that midnight sun! |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Good Job!! lookin' forward to the pictures!!
Use care washing your bike as the road dust that covers it is volcanic in origin and if you scrub and wipe, it's like wiping the paint with a red SCOTCHBRITE drenched in COMET Cleanser, unless you're after that satin finish look. And months from now you'll still be finding little pockets of the stuff in gaps and crevices.

Desert Hot Springs (Palm Springs area), CA | Rollin', What a trip. My mind is spinning with Qs. But the top two are: What would you do differently if you were to do it again? And, did you ever have the bike go down and rest on the tip-overs? That road looked gnarly to say the lest. Well done!!! |
