I see that the "Limited" emblem is off the fender, what could you possibly put in its place? Hummmm, let me think......... lol!
Anyway, it looks like my wife and I are headed your way this summer, I might be seeking some travel tips a little closer to travel time, it would also be a pleasure to meet for a piece of pie if it works!

Ok, well, it looks like I can head out on Saturday or Monday .... God willin and the creek dont rise...... I have pretty much decided on a route. From Cranbrook east on Hwy 3 to where Highway 191 starts on the Montana/Saskatchewan border.... then down 191. I am not sure if I can get through Yellowstone, but if so, i will stay on 191 all the way to Douglas Arizona, then head East to the HOG Rally in Belton via Big Bend. It is about 3,500 miles, and I will have 12 to 14 days.
I did some of this last year, and in previous years, but never all of it in one shot.
Something like this....

Sorry Peter. I just saw this. My email notification isn't working for some reason.

I have been over The Beartooth several times and last year I was staying in Cody and did the loop over both and back to Cody. I love that ride.

I bought a new tent. MSR Huba Huba. It is a two person tent, but just enough room for one the way I camp. I use a small Therma Rest cot which takes up a bit more floor space than just a Therma Rest foam and the nice thing about the tent is that it has side entrances so you can toss your crap in one side, and yourself in the other. I also got a small chair so when I camp I have somewhere to sit with back support. I am taking enough gear this year to camp and heat up canned food if I so desire. Mostly because the Canadian dollar is being bitch slapped up and down the street by the American buck.
Last year it was all Motels, and I will still use them, but only if I can find them at reasonable rates, or if it is raining at the end of the day.
I have spent the last few days sorting out my traveling gear, and it will be some nice to have the trunk for this summer. Once I get traveling I will do a full report on the camping gear and how it works.
One thing I am still looking for is an immersion heater so I can make coffee in the Motels that don't have coffee pots anymore.
I am not going to use my iPhone for streaming music to my Glide. It just doesn't work as well as a small drive plugged right into the bike. I wondered if I would like the music when I ride or not, but it turns out I do.... sort of being like at a live outdoor concert, but ridding at the same time.
I need to do some work this weekend at the office, and I want to put the last few bits on Darla, so I am heading out after coffee on Monday.
