All,

just completed a 2000mile round trip from Pac NW to Napa, CA and Back. New Avon Trailriders. Lots of rain, twisties and about 30%I-5.

Hummed along. Fuel average 40mpg . Slower patches around 50mpg. 3-400 miles/day. That is with a 2009 Uly, stock except the SS Drummer.

Strictly business, redwoods, Oregon Coast, a new route through the Northern Oregon Coast Range. No pictures except before and after on the tires.(tires look a bit scuffed is all). Aero stitch kept me warm and dry. Trailriders are awesome on this bike--gravel, dirt, wet pavement, windy mountain roads.

Passed lots of Harleys

Just another guy on a bike--but a good run. Take away, go with a buddy if you want to camp,--kinda scary solo. Motels are just as awful as ever, partial fasting is a good way to lose weight and avoid bad bites at the greasy spoon. Bring good water and food from the larder to get you through.

Get out there!
