Bravo Zulu there Sail2xx! Every time you ride that pig you are carrying a bright torch for the rest of us.

Chris, way to go man!

I'm about to break...wait for it..... 20 thousand miles! ::015::

You need to post up pics of your overall bike, show us what 100 miles does to the ST

I need to sell off my other bikes, quit my job, move to a warmer climate... ::014:: and I would be almost there

Congrats, Chris.

Obviously we all knew you were going to do it, the only question was when.

You're a hell of a guy and a great rider. It was an honor to share a few of those miles with you.

Now get off your ass and start working on 200K. ::013::

:D I took your advice and got cracking. Finished with work stuff in Atlanta on Friday afternoon and hit the road. Went to Amarillo, then turned north to New Mexico and into Colorado. Up Pike's Peak on Saturday afternoon. Changed the oil behind a Walmart in Colorado Springs early Saturday evening, and rode almost to the Kansas border before calling it a day. Saw Monument Rocks and the Buffalo Bill Monument on Sunday, had dinner with a friend in Columbia, MO on Sunday night, and went home via Lexington, KY from there. Pulled in just a hair before 5:30 Monday evening. :)

Best,

Chris

Jaxon - I passed a bit too far north of you at a pretty uncivilized hour. Planning on going to Texas again before the end of the year though. Will definitely check in with you and try to time things so we can catch up again! No review of the Rukka yet - haven't had time to write something that would be worthwhile. I will say that the Rukka Armas is worth every single penny if you plan on riding a lot in any kind of weather imaginable.

Best,

Chris

Hell, at this rate you'll have 100,000 miles more than me by next spring.

I look forward to your 250K mile report. I assume you'll have it by Christmas 2014.

We're looking at possible furloughs in a couple weeks. If that happens, this ride will be my last giggles trip for a while. :(

I feel your pain on the furloughs, I sincerely hope they don't happen.

However, if that was for giggles, what happens when it is all out laughter? :D
