Last night we went to the book launch of Mike Hydes second book"50 states in 60 days". This was put on by Avon City Suzuki, who did a very good job catering to the 150-175 guests. Mike freighted his V-Strom 1000 to Canada, then toured all 50 states of America[had done hawaii on the way over, on a hired bike].He had an interesting slide show and spoke well afterwards. He presented quite an alternative view of the states than our media driven perceptions and probably one best obtained on a bike. I enjoyed the talk, but didnt see myself doing the same kind of thing. Any other KB,er go?

Hi guys
If any of you would like a signed copy of Twisting Throttle's new book, get down to Avon City Suzuki as they still have a few copies left at a below RR special price.:niceone:

Random fact, you can stand in 4-states at once.

And if you stand in the 4 states in a stoned state and in a state of alcahol intoxication and in an unsound state of mind....does that make 7 states at one time?

Enjoyed the first book although the humor was a bit droll at times. Will get the second.

I did that when carving up the US on a 1500/6!
