    We made it home!

    Mark and I arrived home today without any speeding tickets, accidents, flat tires, or lost luggage. The only two bad things that happened were Mark hit a small bird and forgot his credit card at a restaurant. Other than that it was smooth sailing. Mark will be working on the ride report at some point, but now I need to go unwind. My final stats were roughly 4,370 miles over 16 days through 11 states. Everything hurts.

    Glad to hear you had a nice trip! I could never do that kind of mileage on my bike...my body would fail. I did a 300 mile day with you guys a few weeks ago and I couldn't sleep that night because my back and legs ached. Man I'm getting old.

    You just have to get used to being on the bike. The body adapts. It's just like getting used to running long distances, except not nearly as much work.

    The body does adapt... but I think it makes a big difference what you're riding on. Adaptation or not, I wouldn't want to do it on my GSX-R.

    Great job guys
