Earache

Up early again tomorrow to ride to Indianapolis. Should be about 500 miles so it'll be an easier day tomorrow.

More pics  later as they happen ......

Landed in Kansas City for the night - some 650 miles after leaving home. It's 93F / 34C here - felt hot as  shit to me.

Great view out the of the room ...

Stopped for a pee at a rest area and the Kansas Welcome Wagon pulled in behind me. But he was there to hassle a truck driver about something and paid little attention to me...

Breakfast stop - what had to be the worst muffin in the free World...

Parked in front of these guys to take the sunrise pics. This is as close as I hope to be to one of them today...

Stopped awhile later to take a pic of the sunrise - but the Sun was having trouble shining through all of the smoke in the air from Canadian forest fires...

Got out at 4:00 AM for the ride towards Ohio today. 37F outside so it was a bit chilly. Of course the Big Red Pig had to have a drink first thing today ....

It's hard for us in Europe to imagine the distance's you cover , I'm not sure I could hack riding that far but I suppose it's a case of what you're used to doing.  Anyway, cool photos @Earache, great to see pics from your part of the world.

I know it looks like a death march at times - but there are good distances to be covered to get to various places here. Ya pretty much have to do the big miles to get to your destination.

Next week's ride to Ohio and back will be 5,000 miles. But it has to be done if I wanna meet the wifey in Ohio.

Bet he'd rather be on the 1200. 

Epic stuff and looking forward to the next one.

I saw so many dirt roads that looked like they led off to a great place - just couldn't get there one the Wing.

Taking the Tenere up to Canada and a nice 2 week trip in July - that'll be a good one.

I find photos of scenery usually take away just how good the views are and never live up to the actual view, the photos you have taken look amazing so i cant imagine how good it is to be standing there looking at it for real. Looked like a great trip and looking at where you've been riding i cant think of a better bike to do it on 

Yeah the pics don't do it justice - hard to capture how big these features are and for how long they extend into the distance. Some of the pics the horizon is 10-15 miles away. Just freakin massive rock formations.

On the Wing again?

Yup - meeting the wife in Ohio this time.

Considering the flatness of the trip's geography, the Wing makes sense I suppose.

@Pedro - Or when companies here advertise on TV for a month or two bragging about how they gave $250,000 to a charity. Meanwhile, they've spent $2.3 million on advertising the fact.

Hafta admit - that's one ugly assed bird.

The scenery is great, but what gets me is that it goes on for 60 miles.

Good point - it almost gets boring after awhile.

So how's this auction work? I pay them not to take it if I win?

Ugly piece of shit - looks like a 3rd grade art student drew on it.

Great having all that open road!

Yup - the fun never seems to end. I passed a couple of bikes coming the other way - but nothing other than that in about 100 miles.

Next trip: Ohio on Tuesday!

Changing oil and doing the brakes this weekend and then blasting off to the eastern USA.

Pics to follow .....

Today I got up at 0500 and blasted for home, Didn't take many pics - but I did get in a few  last fuel station pics for the fans....

Landed at my hotel for the night - more my style.

But I bet they don't even have a laundromat!   I'll have to write a sternly worded letter ....

Not a bad way to end a great day of riding ...
