    Glenn and Trevor's Excellant Adventure

    Well Glenn (Eddie21) and I leave on the 7am ferry to the mainland tomorrow morning. And are heading south.
    We will be gone 11 awesome days!
    Plan is first stop La Grand OR about 830kms
    Then on to Sandy Utah, where the next morning I will be getting new Michelin Pilot Road 4s and Glenn will be getting some new brake pads.
    Then on to Moab.
    Then on to Nevada, California etc.
    No reservations, no real plan.
    Got the bike all loaded up tonight and can't wait to see how well this bike tours (and me).



    Here is what we have planned so far...

        Sounds like a great motorcycle trip. I think you and the bike will tour just fine. +1 on the Michelins, they wear great (easy 10,000 miles out of them) and they handle great. It might be hard keeping the pace with Glen, he's one of those Iron Butt riders you know. You guys have fun and keep us posted

          I predict you'll be out in the first round of the US National Spelling Bee, which should give you more time to ride and "edumacate yourselfs" about the land of the "Fee" and the home of the Knave.
          BIG lol on that one!!

                        We decided to stop at Pendleton, Ore for now. Tomorrow we'll do the 560 miles needed to get us to Sandy, Utah. There Trevor gets new tires and I'll get new front brake pads. The good stuff will really begin then, when we can take our time through some of the surreal Utah terrain. Can't wait!

                          Trevor asked me to post this one for him. I think it's pretty fitting



                          I just can't believe you actually had to expand your side bags..
