G'day from Downunder hello.gif hello.gif

What a great, great, great riding country you have! ! 8) 8) 8)
I spent 7weeks cruising around on a V-Star 1100 (piece of #$@%) and a Goldwing 1800 (what a beast) in 2006, from LA to Vancouver.

Via such places as Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Mesa Verde National Park, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Monument Valley, Glacia National Park, Going to the Sun Hwy, Icefields Parkway, Rocky Mountains National Park, Million Dollar Hwy, Yosemite, San Francisco just to name a few. Returning via the West Coast to LA.

Seriously, the holiday of a lifetime! ! !
I can't get back there soon enough to do it again! Magic, magic, magic country and just brilliant scenery.
Not to mention the awesome, awesome, awesome; did I say awesome, roads! ! :D :D :D ;) ;)

Ahhhhhhhhh reminiscing . . . . . oops, back to topic - Welcome aboard! :) :)

Nope! Sort of like when I visited the UK a few years back: I stopped and asked someone for directions, and was like, "What the heck did he just say??? That WAS English right???"

Wow... I always wondered where the other yellow ones circulated to. Aside from mine, I've never bumped into someone with a factory yellow 7R...

7 years street, and a lot of dirt in my younger years. I believe riding dirt gave me a great foundation for street-sportbike, as when you ride dirt, sometimes low/high siding can be fun, as can going a bit too far on your wheelies!
