I've seen videos of guys with the Roadcrafter and R3 suits slip in and out in mere seconds. With my Klim boots I looked like a monkey having sex with a football. It takes a little practice. However the Darien 2 piece was more to my liking. With the outside the leg zippers and being custom fit to...

Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles can find their way from Des Monies, IA to Choteau, MT in 1200 miles. But we have discovered a short cut that comes in just over 1800 miles. It has been a great ride. Monday's high of 94° in St. Paul was the highest temp. The lowest was this morning at 54°. If you...

Today finds us at Sturgis BMW. Got the service done. The GSA got it's 36k driveshaft. Upon inspection Sharon's RS driveshaft failed so she got one too. Got out of there around 2pm made it to Hardin, MT. 300 miles left. Everything is still really green.

Just checked out the Aerostitch factory in Duluth. Fantastic people and pretty cool place.

I'm pretty sure my dispatcher would have a cow. If I stayed gone that long. I'm pretty sure Sharon wouldn't mind. Might have to check with the CFO to see if we can swing it. We'd have to change the get a room every night thing. This gets expensive quick.

397 miles today Jamestown to Dickinson then to Sturgis. Yes there was a shorter route. But there was a massive rain storm along that route. North Dakota has recieved alot of rain and everything is lush and green. It has made a trip I was dreading into a beautiful ride. Just rolling grasslands as...

We started our driving careers with Schneider in 1992. Yes the reference was about them. Back then they had their trucks governed at 55 mph.

I hope you've got your map out and keeping track of our short cut. Our last stop was Bemidji, MN. From there it's a short 35 miles to the headwaters of the Mississippi River. I have crossed Ole Miss thousands of times. It's a muddy flowing river. Average span about 1/2 mile. Today I walked...

For you left coasters Schneider eggs are construction barrels. You know they're ready to hatch when you knock them over and find 2 dirt bags. And Quakies are also known as Birch or Aspen trees

Whatever impresses you more.🤣😂

After visiting Aerostitch in Duluth the plan was to take some pics in the area. Unfortunately Canada decided to share its smoke with us. It was lightly raining and smokey so couldn't see much. Schneider egg season is in full swing in the Duluth area. It was quite a challenge getting out and onto...

It's a BMW GS Adventure bike and you built an adventure trailer. It's built for short cuts like this RIGHT? Otherwise I would have bought one of those bikes that can't pass things like gas stations, bars or Harley shops.

Thanks

The corn is boot high so it must be time to head out. Morning temp 68°f. Forecast to be 90° time to head North. We're taking a short cut to Montana. First stop will be Duluth. We made it to Cloquet, MN. Major storm coming in so decided to stop early. 1st long ride this year 402 miles. Getting...

She was with me in Redmond.

"Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed". I thought the trailer would be great. I can carry all the stuff and Sharon won't have to carry anything on her bike. As we're packing she wants her Mosko Reckless 80 mounted on her RS. Last year we lived off the bikes for a month and were just...

In highschool I weighed 135lbs soaking wet. I worked at a bike shop. My job was to assemble new bikes, clean and put on display. If it had a centerstand it was to be on the centerstand. So I learned a couple tricks on how to get a Goldwing on the centerstand. So from then on I've never had an...

New tires mounted? Check

I will be updating daily. Scheduled departure is Monday.
