    Mike Hyde-50 states in 60 days

    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?

    really enjoyed his aussie tour book.
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    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.

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

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    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.
