Did a quick 13 hour day today of 430 miles or so. The BRP provided sub 60 degree temps in August for our riding pleasure today. Good times were had...

Great place to ride but there is nothing quick about a 13 hour day in the saddle

13 hours for me would definitely include some meaningful culinary breaks.

Love how the light blue sky separates the mountains and the dark clouds brewing

The CB was built for days like today...She definitely gets better mileage in the clear traffic...

Love the 60 degree temps. It has been very hot in south Georgia and riding is mostly a morning activity. Love the BRP.
