All together, I rode to and from the rally, took 6 days, chaulked up about 3000 miles and covered 11 total states., and enjoyed myself!

I think thats what bike riding is all about!

Excellent!

1) I was standing right next to you when you took one of those pictures, but we didn't/don't know each other.

2) If you continue about 30 minutes past that bridge down Hwy94 into St Charles, you'll arrive at my house.

Looks like fun.

Love the trail 90 !!! That was what I learned to Ride. My uncle still has that bike.I belive I will check and see if I can buy it !Thanks , enjoyed the photos.

Sorry I missed you both.

Great report.
