Finally made it home last night. Last leg was about 800 miles - in about 15 hrs. I got to say that I don't think I could have done that in a car. A Harley Ultra Classic is not only comfortable, but smooth - although mine is a little loud - :-) . First half of the day was wet but kept dry with a well sealed rain suit. I had bought a new helmet in the spring just for this occasion and it worked great. My face and eyes never got wet. Water in the eyes is the worst part of riding in the rain because it really limits your vision. You just need to focus ahead, lower your speed and hope nothing happens in front of you - it's a matter of trust.
It was a great trip! Mike and Curt did a great job of planning and keeping us on track. The pace was a Little grueling but when you cover the distance we did and still make it possible to see some great sights it demands a little discipline. Enjoyed the conversations with Kevin about diving and autocross - it seems we have some interests in common. Also enjoyed spending time with Jim and determining just what is wrong with this country of ours - I have a much better understanding now - I think.
So until the next retirement party - trip - I'll be looking forward to seeing all the pictures and hearing how everyone enjoyed our adventure.
Regards
Bob
