Bike is packed!

[coinoperatedboi]

A little under 2 hrs I'll be heading out from San Antonio headed to Denver. I have a spare CVT belt with clutch tools, 65mm socket and some Torx tools, tire plug kit w/ co2 etc.

I've marked all the CanAm dealers along the route just in case as well. Can't wait to hit the mountains and 550 on the way back. Sunday is looking to be mostly sunny and a little warmer.

If anyone is interested I'll be using the Riser app to track the route. PM me for info to friend up on it.

Ryker you better not let me down!

looks great - I have now 3900 miles and still not a single problem with it ! Did a lot of miles in the mountains, and saw alot of rain ..

I'll try and get some pics soon.

500mi down today. Made it to Santa Fe. Hit some hail, or rather it hit me, but other than that and the gas mileage these get the Ryker has been great.

Safe travels!

Santa Fe was a good place to stop, for sure. Beautiful city.

Made it to Denver. The mountains were great and a bit chilly. Only bad part was coming in and the traffic. Time to chill for the weekend before heading towards the Million Dollar.

First of all, love the name. Such a great movie.

Million Dollar was amazing yesterday. Absolutely stunning scenery. After that decided to just come home so I rode about 1k mi total in about 25hrs. Left there at around 530am and just got in about the same time(diff time zones)

Let me see if I can get pics of my routes to upload

If you want a more detailed route I think I can send a link but it'll want to open in the Riser app I'm pretty sure

Nice...thanks for sharing!

Glad to see so one else using the Ryker for Touring. :2thumbs:

[Batbike]

Wow!...That is pretty awesome. Glad you had a safe trip and the Ryker did good! Not sure my butt could handle 1000 miles!! You da Man!

Thanks for sharing, what a great trip! Have you done any calcs on mpg yet?

Great stuff! Thanks for the maps and photos. Do you have documentation to file for an Iron Butt award? ... you might be the first to use a Ryker!

Haha I do not! And it was the stock seat! I tried an Airhawk and hated it so it got packed away the rest of the trip. My butt really wasn't all that bad. Some typical soreness. Was more my wrist and shoulder(past moto injury). Used some KT tape for the trip home which seemed to help a little.

I had bought some grips in Denver to swap out but never found time to sit and change them.


I would love to ride around up there some more but without gear. The extra weight on one side and then on the pass seat made some turns feel tougher. I'd love to just go play in some of those twisty areas for a day.

Just checked the requirements for the IBA and nah, no witness and all that jazz. Plus I forgot to start Riser in Ouray and instead started it in Silverton which would put it right about 1k mi but I don't have proof.

All good, I know I did it so...

Sounds like a great trip. Next time you should do the same thing but plan on a hotel room near the fun twisty area. Unload all your gear in the room and go play for a day.

Definitely! Next time I go it'll be specifically for that. Maybe stay in Ouray again as that's a neat little town. Then just go ride around all weekend and explore.
