Here is an update.
Tonight, I am somewhere in Iowa. I really don't know the name of the town, but somewhere sounds good.
Tuesday, I road through Yellowstone. What a beautiful ride. The scenery is incredible. I didn't log as many miles as intended. There was some road construnction going on after leaving Yellowstone's south entrance. First I sat for 30 minutes not going anywhere. Then they led a cravan through the construction at 17 miles an hour for 20+ miles stopping in between to let cravans go from the other direction. I ended up staying in a nice little town named Du Bious, in Wyoming.
Yesterday, was a great ride except for getting my second speeding ticket. I road from Duboius up to Thermopolis, Incredicible canyons, then up to Gillete, over to Deadwood South Dakoda. I road thorugh the Black Hills and over to Mount Rushmore. If you have never seen it, it is well worth the trip. I Stayed the night in Wall South Dakota. I did 675 miles of all canyons. When I fnally stopped, I realized that my hands were tired, from constant clutch and throttling up and down. But what fun.
Today, I actually stayed on the interstates. Basically I felt I had too. I had to get a new front tire. The right tire was pretty much shot on the inside tread. I got a new tire at a dealer in Worthington Minnosota. The dealer was great, I call them when I was an hour out. When I got there they took me right in and replace the tire. They went over the front end pretty well. But, they were unable to determine what the tire wore that quickly and on just on side. That tire only had 5,000 miles on it. Hopefully there will be a couple of BRP tech in Gatlinburg. So, they can look at it.
