    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    The second half of the tour is yet to be mapped, it takes me a while cause I'm not familiar with it.
    Looking forward to the slide show and video sessions!!!!!

    I know for a fact he doesn't have enough fingers And taking lessons in squeeling from a pig is just not an option...

    Guess he won't be dismounting his beast til he's through that state then...

    nah, but a truckload of sows might do the trick...although I'm not sure the locals would be gender specific!

    You will of course, be welcome at the "Hotel California" Please bring your own toothbrush! You may be here a while! Cheers John.

    Not going to Hawaii sadly, costs too much extra in flights.

    Duelling maybe, banjo's, not if they value their ears!

    Cheers John, I will be dropping in on my warmup ride next month, toothbrush and all, but be warned, with my snoring you might want me to go sooner than later!

    Kitty: don't know where your quote went but here's the answer.
    I am planning on about 3 months riding time, which I am assured will be plenty if I don't hang about too much.


    Deals Gap and the El Diablo run are looking good as drop in points too, most likely be a lot of other things of great interest on the way too. Including the Copper Canyon in Mexico, is a possibility also, kinda cool place.
    So see if you can find anything else that might be fun and let me know; Rally's, festivals, biker bars, whatever.

    Vegas is a really fun place. Just a bit of a pity it's so cluttered up with all that gambling stuff.

    We went there some years ago. Mrs Ixion insisted on trying one of the gambling machines, why I cannot imagine. Fortunately, she lost her 5 cents on the first try, so we didn't waste any more time on that nonsense, and just had fun for the rest of the week.

    check the helmet laws for each state if you plan on riding without one. north and south carolina have recently jumped on the helmet bandwagon, but things are iffy due to outcry from riders there.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
