What a great time! did 2568 miles in 2.5 days. Hit, IL, Mo, Ok, and KS... was just a blast, great to get up with my buddies and fraternity brothers from out of state and put on some miles!
some sick roads out that way! we did a bunch of back roads riding and on the way home my bro and i took route 66 for a good ways... hahaha even road the OK turn pike

left chicago at 10pm... rode to STL and got a few hours sleep

Cool pics Joe. Looks like a lot of fun.

Can't wait for my next road trip....... STURGIS!

 

on the way home we hit up Joplin Mo ... my heart dropped seeing this place. my buddy leading us is from joplin so he took us around. so sad.








fillin up on route 66


going though STL


was a great TRIP! i love to get out on the scoot wiht my brother, he and i just chilled all the way home and took our time did it in one shot all the way from Noel Mo to chicago... but so much fun!

 

Hahaha - Flat and straight, looks like the midwest!

Sobering pics of Joplin. Always good to spread the word!

Glad you had a good time! Make it out further west next time!

 

i do not know why it will not let me post some pics just puts an X there... Mo was awesome riding killer hills and swoopers

 

So give us the low down on how it was with the new fairing,stereo and bag setup.

 

Thanks for the pics!

There is no better feeling than hitting the road with the fellas and laying some miles down.

 

few posts down is the review did not want to cluster it all up... bottom line is i loved it
float trip was also a blast! we had a huge group of over 40 of us

 

That's awesome. I only have two friends that ride, and we have only done like 40 mile trips, wish I had some people to ride that long with.

 

Wish I had known you were coming through OKC, I would have bought lunch or dinner for the group. It's a little toasty in this neck of the woods. Bike looks great. Glad you had a safe trip.
