That's a great ride, Paul, but why take two days to get there???  Yoda Master, Valkpilot, and I did it in 18 hours (to Deadwood).  Did you know there are sand dunes in Nebraska? I didn't. Do not miss Spearfish Canyon. Take your time and ride it several times. It alone is almost worth the trip. Mt Rushmore is truly breathtaking. The Crazy Horse memorial is really cool. Devil's Tower is something to behold and the ride out there is fun. You should have a great trip.

Bring this back up in about a month.
So far I don't have anything scheduled during the month of June. Still missing the Dakota's on filling in my map of the U.S.
Have Memorial Day weekend in Tucumcari and then the next scheduled run is up to Michigan for Inzane the end of July.
I might be able to swing another 'kitchen pass' by then.

How's that Jade & Black Tourer treating you??? is that a real plate or just a icon? It's a real plate and the State has decided to make them really expensive.  It might wind up on the wall instead of on the bike...

Sounds like a great trip. Wish I could go, but already have my one week of riding scheduled for late July. No way I could get a kitchen pass for this ride without losing the other one.
