JC, thats really awesome news you are able to do those kind of miles without the pain! Couldn't imagine not being able to ride, probably spend more for "couch time" than i do on my Harley!
Looking like I will see you next weekend and look forward to it.

Are you suggesting that this (or 2500 miles in 2 1/2 days) isn't an iron butt ride?  :nixweiss:

Yep, originally my trip was planned for Fri, Sat & Sun.  But when I saw the forecast of 2 1/2" of rain for San Francisco....I had to move it up to mid week.

We have another ride planned for next weekend, down here in So Cal and a ride to Ensenada, Mexico the weekend after that.  I'll try to remember to take my camera on these rides.

No pics, no post!!!!

You guys are to funny.  Greg asks if I'm working up to an iron butt ride.  He knows I've been doing iron butt rides since long before I ever heard of that organization and I believe he has to.  Don't need no stinkin gas receipts to know how far I've ridden in a day, a weekend, a month or a year.   :P

2k tyin to pressure me into getting back in to my photo ride reports.  I really do enjoy looking back on those pics years later...reliving the memories and enticing others who've never been to get out there and rider longer distances and see things they've never saw and have always wanted to.  OK, 2k, my next photo ride report is dedicated to you buddy!   :2vrolijk_21:

Smkymtnboy (really like that username) hasn't saw enough of my ride reports to know that 90% of my pics are taken on the fly.  It's a physical endurance to ride for 12-15 hours a day with a Nikon hanging around your neck.....especially when it's a week or ten days in a row!  :o

For Smkymtnboy and other, newer members on this forum that may be interested, I present a compilation that Ernie did a couple of years ago when I thought I was done riding due to back issues....  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=77699.0

For me and some of my close friends here (they're in many of these ride reports) it's all about the journey and not so much the destination.  You want to see this country get off the interstates and get on those back roads....those two lane highways.....see the country.

Going to a GTG travel out of your way just a bit to see other sites and then take a different route home.....experience it first hand.

Several years ago a couple of buddies and I rode up through Banff and Jasper Parks and on up to Dawson Creek then west to Prince George and back down to Washington State. Those long road trips are especially enjoyable and the photos that one takes along the way preserves those special locations and memorable moments along the way.

Ride On!!

My first & last CVO, Scarlett, arrived 6-1-12. I always remember my mom while riding.  She had smarts with a spirit of independence & adventure. "You Gotta LIVE!", was her motto; her favorite color red, and she loved BLING.
