[QUOTE=Captain Morgan;421334]Very sharp looking bike. Amazing that you have averaged 25k miles a year, yet work 6 days a week and have kids to take care of. Do you commute to work? Or do you just take random long trips when you get a chance?

Thanks.
I don't commute to work because I live less than 4 miles away from it. It takes me like 6 minutes to drive to work. I ride between 4:00 and 6:00AM a lot. That's how I do it. I don't take long trips either. Kids have too many after school activities after school that's why I can't leave the family behind for days. I've only done 2 1K+ mile rides within 24 hours in the last 5 years. That's about the only long trips I've ever done.

I've only washed the Strom once, and I didn't really even wash it. I just gave it a quick spray and called it good. I do need to get all the bugs off the front of it

Like I've said, riding between 4:00 and 6:00AM is how I do it. That's a little over 100 miles every time I do it. I wish I can stay out longer but I have to be at work at 7:30AM.

Another gas and comfort stop.


Approaching VA on the way back.


Approaching Big Walker Mountain Tunnel.





Again, traffic was like this all day.


Got home at 1:08AM the next day. The trip meter resets after 999.9.LOL


I took more than 300 pictures but it's mostly highway pics so you get the idea.

This 1K mile ride is so addicting. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I've pissed in that gas station before.




Fuck the natural bridge, that place sucks except for the cowboy on the velociraptor
