The only thing more symmetrical than the above photo is a cb1100 with dual exhaust.

Oiling the chain.

(These can be 700+ km days. Lubrication across the Nation. Clearly visible is the compact nature of the supplies and utensils - there is only so much one can carry on a trip like this Wink.

Fun trip, but recommend you swing a 180 and head west. It's dry out here. Good riding in the Rockies right now and the roads aren't straight and flat!
