450 brain picking

[tkent02]

It's a Gold Wing, son, we don't need no stinking helmet cams. We carry four full size high speed IMAX cameras and a cute photographer in a leather mini skirt.

Thanks, Steve, any problems getting the cameras loaded up? Where's my little photographer?

No, I'm sleeping in the trailer while my beautiful assistant drives. A man has got to know his limitations.

The cameras will be no problem, you will need another vehicle to carry the extra film, though.

Sorry, but you will have to provide your own photographer. My contribution is limited to vehicles at the time.

Across the country, update #1



I'm the gf of the crazy guy riding the 450 across the country. The picture above was taken right before he left, all packed up and ready to go. He left at 6 am Sunday the 16th as of 1 pm pacific time today he crossed the Missouri river in South Dakota. He is happy to report the bike is doing great. I will try to update you all as I get updated.

Yes, do keep us up to date... it's not something I would ever think of doing on a hard tail but that's my personal choice... I'm definitely keen to see how the little 450 holds up to that amount of abuse

Love my 450 and it hasn't failed me yet but I haven't done that sort of distance either...

+1 to more pic's!

Update #2

I am working on getting more pictures but unfortunately don't have any new ones to post right now. But I will get you all more. As of just a few minutes ago, K has made it to Chillicothe, Ohio. About 100 miles east of Cincinnati on US-50 East. He has less than 1000 miles till his final destination.

Pete, as far as the bike is concerned it is running like a champ. The only minor issue he has had so far (knock on wood) is with the clutch cable, which he was able to fix and keep on going. He has been able to average around 60 mph overall, just nice and steady.

I will update you guys again soon and I promise to have some more pictures!

Good stuff!

[klparriott]

Well we made it. little longer then expexted but here. Let me say that they did a good job on that little motor I had her pretty much pinned the hole way. 3600 kiles in 90 hours gues jow we see if she makes it home next week. We well be alot nicer to her on the way back.... Thank you all for the info I would say it diffantly helped
