Left home with 2 others (Chino Valley, AZ) on June 26th headed for Keystone, SD. Headed up past 4 Corners through Durango (first night), over Wolf Creek Pass to Loveland, CO (second night). Arrived in Keystone early afternoon, and met up with 2 other friends. Spent the week riding the Hills. The following Saturday everyone headed out. All headed home but me. I was off to NE Nebraska to see friends that I hadn't seen in a very long time. Spent 3 days visiting different ones, the off to Wathena, KS to see a couple more. After a couple of days there I figured I better head home. Three hot days crossing Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. Then finally to Arizona where I was welcomed to 100 degree weather. All told 3629 miles. Averaged 34.4 MPG. I used 87 octane for the most part. And I don't baby it, but also don't beat it either. Usually stick to 5MPH over limit, But did hit 92 passing a truck on the freeway.

Doesn't sound like you needed a hitch :joke:

No hitch, no trailer.

poor wording on my part. By 'hitch' I mean no issues, as in 'it came off without a hitch'.

We know that. Just pulling your leg.

Nothing better than a multi-day trip on the Spyder!
