Lamonster Ride to San Diego by way of Sturgis

[Lamonster]

Hey Lamonster, I just did 3400 KMs on my first road trip. However, I do have 22350kms on the odometer already, that's 13887 miles. I guess you must be the only one out there with more miles than me. My best day was 800kms or 500 miles in one go, actually 8 hours. Keep it up. I race you to the gold pin. LOL

:congrats::spyder::doorag:

Congrats Lamontster, have a good ride! :congrats:

What about the Julian ride that was mentioned, after you get out San Diego way? :yes:

I would need to know by Thursday (7/31) evening so I can load up my Spyder and I can trailer it to my desert place with me, when I drive down there on Friday morning. I plan to be there all of next week so if I don't take it with me Friday, I won't have any opportunity to get it from home (153 miles away).

Smylinacha--

Which size Airhawk did your use on your Spyder?

I got the large one from jp cycles: http://www.jpcycles.com/productgrou...-9318B2D822A9&search=airhawk&store=All&page=1

Edit to add; I see it's alot cheaper at Derby cycles!

Hands up! We are hijacking this thread.

Still, they are a lot cheaper than a new saddle. I may be interested in trying one of them out.

We're not hijacking, we're just making some smalltalk 'til Lamont and Ev check in again! :chat:

Guess where :doorag:

That's westbound on the Poplar Street bridge going over the Mississippi River on the IL/MO border! Give us a head's up next time you're on your way thru STL and b'fast/lunch/dinner (depending on the time) is on us!

Regards,

Mark

Very nice, Lamont!! We were just talking about the Crazy Horse monument! You must be having a BLAST!!!

Oh! And, when you're in California, be sure to visit...

Double Double - Animal Style!!!

Thanks for the report - if you can go that many miles on the stock seat, (more than I'll ever do) then I won't have any problems going on a 700 mile round trip in a few weeks.

Let us know how you like the Corbin seat - I have one on order and I'm hoping it comes in before I leave.

Hmm... Does this pic prove Magic Man's claim that you will be in his rearview mirror on all the rides? :joke:

:agree::agree::agree:

No really Lamonster drives his Spyder like a man on a mission. He was taking it slow so everyone could keep up with him.

Although him and Jody took the Spyders and burned up the ride home a bit.

He was a great tour guide for us on our ride and knew all the good places to see.

The only thing I can say is that I'm super jealous and the pictures are making it worse. I hope to make this ride one of these days. Enjoy the trip and you guys ride safe.

I'll fill in one of the blanks--

I remember from my days in SD that Lincoln's nose on Mount Rushmore is eleven feet long...

Have a great trip back!

Lamont:
You passed me on Monday morning the 28th near Mitchell, SD. I was on my way to Sturgis. I won't say anything about how fast you must have been going.
