The final tally

The good, and the not so good in no particular order.

  • averaged on a good day(read obeying speed limits) 55mpg, otherwise approx 40 - 45 mpg travelling fully loaded in a variety of terrain at many various speeds. :)
  • two oil changes, one at a dealer at grossly overinflated prices, and another as part of a scheduled servicing at a great shop in Phoenix.
  • cracked and fixed one crash guard, now reinforced to never happen again.

  • two rainy days of riding, first and last. Both happened to be in WA state.
  • met many fantastic people out there on the road, at campgrounds, motels, other bikers, etc.
  • ate some damn fine Mexican food, and imbibed some fantastic micro-brews at various brew pubs.
  • took almost 400 pictures plus a few videos
  • picked up a dashing new lid (in blue)
  • managed to become dehydrated twice
  • dropped the bike once - how embarassing! It happened in my sister's garage. I was spinning it around on the center stand so I could ride straight out instead of backing out and the stand folded up and over it went. Almost fully loaded at that point too. Surprisingly enough not a scratch on the bike, but one scuff mark on a side bag.
  • racked up 8225.4 kilometers on the bike

Countless memories, Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Good!(say that with your best William Shatner over-acting ability)
