Well here we are packed loaded down and ready to roll.
The first day we road 535 miles!! WOOOO I sure was ready for a rest and a snack or 5.. I think the body part that gets the most tired is the throttle hand it stays in one postion while all the other body parts can be shifted around.... like... You can stand up on the foot pegs or put your feet on the back pegs so you are almost laying down and you can take your left hand off the handle grip. We road on pavement and dirt roads the bikes balanced real well for such a load...

Great shots! Once again I apaude you ride. My butt is sore just thinking about riding on the BMW seat compaired to my cushy cruiser jonrake · 2007-08-17: 09:50

WOW you guys carry a lot of stuff like that, must hard to ride. Really fun extreme trip and very beautiful too ????? · 2007-08-17: 10:46

We did have alot on our bikes but they balanced out pretty good even at 75 mph.. Not hard to ride at all.. SheriJ · 2007-08-17: 10:48

nice pics & trip nasser · 2007-08-17: 11:38

I really love the chipmonk and saved it immediately. garysktam · 2007-08-17: 11:55

Love shot 7! ????? · 2007-08-17: 11:56

You are brave! I think I'm carrying a lot on my bicycle and it's just a backpack or messenger bag full! Your shots are amazing! Well, worth the tiredness I'm sure. The tree is beautiful with the tetons in the background. The swan is very elegant. And that chipmunk! Woo! That is a fantastic shot! :) vollenda · 2007-08-17: 12:39

yes I can't imagine a ride that long .. but I know it was fun .. the set is great ..love that little fellow at the end ..saved him:)!!! ????? · 2007-08-17: 13:36

superb! grupakliniczna · 2007-08-17: 14:59

This is quite a trip ! Take care ... Your chipmonk is gorgeous carmitage · 2007-08-17: 15:12

I love your BMW F 650 GS, it`s a good fellow !!! Have a lazy weekend and thank you for the detailed answer of my question. (Sturgis) Till Monday ! :-) elkegrocholl · 2007-08-17: 16:11

Wow....... I wish I had a bike like this........... Is this yours??? ;) Rasadesign · 2007-08-17: 17:04

Nice, nice, nice!!! Karibbean · 2007-08-17: 19:37

Beautiful photos:-) chrisfly · 2007-08-17: 19:43

Sure is a lot of gear on the back of the bikes,,,,,but you have to be prepared :) jetjackson · 2007-08-17: 20:38

Wow…8-0...(astonished) you were packed to the rim man that bike must be tuff (just like you) What a trip story and photos have been keeping track and am a bit envious doing a trip like that via machina. ????? · 2007-08-17: 20:56

I can't believe you rode so many miles on a bike that's not a cruiser. magnolissun · 2007-08-17: 21:36

Wow, what a ride! Wonderful photos especially tree and Tetons and the chipmonk. That's a lot of gear on the bikes - maybe it's time to consider a sports tourer like the R1200 RT - apart from all the luggage space, the stereo is sensational, it gets louder the faster you go! ????? · 2007-08-17: 21:57

A long trip like that would be a great experience, but I'm tired from just looking at the pics. I must be getting old. :-) dweiskir · 2007-08-17: 22:26
