Bring your snowmobile suit. Nelson, have great trip. Bruce
Good morning, the trip went fairly well. I left Saturday morning June 1 at 4.30 am. 37 degrees. Rode to Youngstown Ohio the first day, and I had to stop because of heavy downpour. Next day just before Chicago I stop for fuel and I had 2 messages on my phone. My wife said my sister in law had passed during the day. So I call my nephew and told me no funeral before Saturday the 8. So I made the decision to continue my trip tp Wyoming to visit Arthur. Monday afternoon Arthur came and met me at mile marker 175. We rode to Sturgis and rode a Canyon do not remember the name but beautiful and had to stop because of hail. Next to Deadwood and rode Spearfish canyon awesome. Then to the ranch. Next morning 8.00am Arthur rode with me to Rapid City and then on my way home. I made it Thursday night June 6. Total miles 4520 round trip in 6 days. Than next day drove to Canada for a Saturday funeral. The bike ran good no issue. The new Vredestein tires are awesome. Average day 750 miles per day.
Sorry to hear about your sister in law :pray:. I hope everything is good with Arthur. Sounds like one heck of a ride. The hail now that's got to hurt if you have any skin showing. Glad to hear your back home safe and sound. Thanks for the tire report I had been wondering about that tire, I may have to change tires in the fall or spring so it looks like that is the tire I will go with also.
This is the Hooded Claw from Waterville. I've been on here awhile but am much more a reader of posts than a poster. Its good to see there are other Spyder folks from Maine on SL.
Nelson, sounds like you had a whirlwind of a trip. Hope to see you soon. Hooded claw, there are a few Spyders not to far from you. Bruce
