Riding alone is fun
Riding with a friend or two is more fun
CB's really help a person stay out of trouble on the road
You can never drink too much water or V8 or Nakid Drink on a hot day
You dont need front brakes to go down a mountain road if you are in the correct gear
Valkyrie riders can be incredibly unselfish unless you are on a buffet line or waiting for a gas pump, then its every man for himself lol
There are tens of thousands of windmills in Oregon
The wind going up the gorges in Washington and Oregon is strong
12 hrs on the road goes quickly
Even the 3rd day of 12 hrs goes quickly unless you are stopped in traffic in the heat
Rain aint so bad even 5 hrs of it going down Lolo as long as there is no lightning
That it is possible to break a c clamp trying to compress a brake caliper
That old brake pads are really good at helping to compress that caliper after you break the c clamp
That if you leave a wet doo rag or evaporative vest in the trunk it gets nasty overnight but soap and water clean them quickly
That it is a very good thing to know the directions to your cousin's house BEFORE you get to his town, just in case he isnt home
That 18 bagels do not last as long as I thought
That Macallan Scotch will not survive if left unattended around Valkyrie riders
That I am one lucky dude to have as many friends as I do in large part because I do in fact own and operate a Valkyrie
That Steve Tiffany is an exceptional friend and pretty fair Valk pilot
That hooters girls can make great secretaries
That the sunset in Montana is awesome
That the wind can actually blow in more than two directions at once in South Dakota
That the wind After a storm passes in South Dakota gets even stronger if that is possible
That 14 going up the BigHorn Mountains is really steep
That Beartooth Pass rules and how do people actually pedal a bike clear to the top?
That my Valkyrie can indeed get 50mpg at 50 mph (Route 78 between Cody and the gas station 50 miles away before Chief Joseph Highway
That you can get a hit air jacket and a half and full face modular helmet in the trunk of a Valk
That VOAi and VRCC members are some of the greatest people on the planet even if some of them talk funny

Seriously? It took a ride all the way across the country for you to figure that out? |

Hey Oss, If you didn't know at least some of these things, you were in serious denial. Hell, I can't seem to hide a bottle of McCallan from ANY of the guys I hang out with. As for Hooters, I only go there for the wings!  Sounds like you are having a great trip. Enjoy, and be safe!!! |
