Well I took the K1200LT across the USA again this summer. Made about 8,000 miles. Rode from WV to Kansas City and worked/ate BBQ all week. Then off to Rochester MN for a few days, took off on a Sat to ride into a hail storm around Sioux Falls, SD. Got to visit Mt Rushmore, and then off to Wall Drug and Sturgis. Along the way met a Hoka Hey rider who talked me into riding over Bear tooth Pass on my way to Yellowstone. Was great fun. Then out West Yellowstone into Idaho, followed by lots of Nevada desert, and Reno. Down the pass to Sacramento, down the 5 and up the Grapevine to get to SoCal for a few days. After enjoying the heat, decided to make a night trip up Cajon Pass, and through to Pines of Arizona. Rode along I-40 until I decided to drop down into New Mexico along Hwy 60. Nice open mountain roads. Went by Pie Town and the VLA, and on to Missle ranges and UFO towns. Short visit in Texas panhandle then off to Lake Eufala for some fishing in Oklahoma. Decided I needed to keep heading home so when I got to Tn, went and rode Tail for the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway again. Made in home in the two week timeframe with no accidents or tickets, so it was a good vacation ride.
