My wife is tasked with making a wedding cake for her little brother in Montana. So instead of heading to Alaska as planned. We'll be taking the bikes to Montana for a wedding/family reunion. So the ADV1 will be loaded with cake making stuff.

Keep tuned in for the ride. The nightmare... i mean fun begins Monday June 2nd.

Nice, the Kalamata is the best color for the GSA. Highly approve!!

Any noticeable difference in putting the bike on the centerstand with the ADV1 attached?
 
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 issue with any bike. With that said, I've not noticed any difference getting it on the center stand. In fact it might be easier as the trailer adds momentum.
 
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 alot of looks with the trailer. It got to a toasty 95° in St. Paul. 🥵🥵

Tomorrow we stop at the Aerostitch factory. Then a little jaunt to Lake Superior for a couple pics.

I'm not sure you know what "short cut" means. ;) Or maybe you should have paid more attention in trig in high school...another word you should learn is hypotenuse. It's marked in green below.

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.
 
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 US2. Traveling west on US2 to Bemidji was beautiful. Alot of pine forests with breaks for lakes then large patches of Quakies. It is flat but the roads are glass smooth. Temps in the upper 60's made for a great ride. I was able to drop a line and found this guy.

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
