Pdedse, I know you can do it on any bike!
Good luck with your beautiful trip!
Is that how you pre-train yourself before the Maritimes trip next year ??

Thanks for the well wishes...I do have the Maritiomes in mind. Right now, I'm leaning towards letting the Kawasaki W800 have its chance to see what it can do long distance. An upcoming retirement may involve a move with smaller garage space, so I won't have room for the third bike...but I thought I could ride out to visit sister in Cape Cod, swing back towards Kansas and instead of riding home, leave the W with a brother who has a huge shed...that way I would have a bike in the midwest for whenever I visit post-retirement. It's a thought.

I like the positivity! But I refuse to maintain a bike in Oklahoma, Delaware and Wisconsin.

Don't feel bad. I've been to all three states and I don't get it either. Maybe best left alone.

I mean...I'm more than willing to maintain 47 different bikes in all those other states, but I have limits...so I had to pick 3 states that got left out. Delaware...who needs a bike there?
It might be time to put me on the "ignore list"

I've heard the name, but I couldn't think of what he was famous fer, and had to look...dang, all those publishing venues...I guess he never rode motorcycles.
