Memphis to Seattle and back!

So the long ride finally happened. 5609 miles in 13 days. What an amazing trip. Great places, great people, and great weather. Windy South Dakota was a bit less than fun but I made it through. Mt Rushmore, is an amazing place to see on a bike. Nebraska is just about the most beautiful place I have had the privilege to ride through. Minor issues along the way were remedied by good ol' American folks. Bike was great. 48-52 mpg the whole way (except South Dakota which earned me 33). A couple oil changes and today a trip to the dealer for the 8000 mile check (at 10470 miles). I'd like my bike back now please!
