So tell me, how do plan oil changes when doing a 10,000 mile ride?

Thanks. It was 20 very exciting days. So many great sights, so many wonderful people. I kept thinking of Ted Simon in Jupiter's Travels and his 4 years traveling. WOW.

Pics are in...My riding buddy did the digital shots and took forever getting them to me. These are from the 10 000 miles in 20 days trip.

Each to their own.
Some are mile burners, some are flower sniffers.

That was my record. The last really big trip was about 8000 miles. We've already started planning our Alaska trip. We're looking to hit the 15 000 mile mark by going there through Canada and coming back through the USA. So many ideas, so little time...

Wow. Sadly that is more milage than most people put on their bikes in a year. Actually, I only own one bike with more miles than that. I NEED TO RIDE MORE!

Plan away my good friend. Just give me enough notice because as wonderful as my wife is, with four kids, she likes to know in advance if I'm dissapearing AGAIN !!!

Brian....getting together sounds like a great idea. I'm trying to coax my brother to take a clockwise tour of the Adirondacks with me. Perhaps we could meet in Lake Placid. I've been looking forward to riding through the Keene Valley, something I did 30 years ago and want to do again but this time on a motorcycle.

Loads of pictures. Both film and digital. We even did a "red neck" camera mount and got video. The guy I rode with is in North Carolina. He took the digital and video. So I'm just waiting on him to send me the stuff. I took the film shots with an Advantix camera, getting these great "panoramic" photos that are about 14" long. Again, upstate NY is close enough to see the real film stuff live !!! We'll figure out a ride soon.

No brag - just facts. You got me beat, for sure. That's some pretty impresive riding time.
