Nice trip Marc! Was wondering where you disappeared to. How'd you put up with the ex for 6500 miles? :nixweiss:

I'm glad you had a safe trip! Now get to work on that Dyna! ;D

Boy I hear you, been there done that d** Wind. I'd rather ride in a heavy rain storm than in a heavy x wind. Riding in the heavy cross wind really makes you pucker up. Thanks for sharing the trip. It sounds like you had a blast.
