:laugh:


I just did 5168 miles on this bike. Seattle to Chicago to Denver, back to Seattle. I did Chicago to Denver in 18 hours straight completing my first "Iron Butt" on a bike with 1037 miles. After Denver when I wasn't on time restraints I only took two laners and some NFS roads the whole way back except when i got within 150 miles of my house i did hop on I-90. Anyway i thought i would share some of the photos from the trip.

When i got the bike it had the rack already and it had that stupid sissy bar in it as well. I just cut it off. its a great rack, pretty big and with two mounting points on each side, its very sturdy.
