Passed the six month mark on this ride a couple of days ago. Currently camping in east TN. Will hang around here for another week then on to Vintage Days at Barber Motorsports Park in AL. After that ride home with a detour through the Smokies. Been an epic time, but gone by too fast. Going to mount up my fifth rear tire in a day or so to get me home.

How many miles is that to wear out that many tires. (Asks the guy at work thinking about a 3 week ride to Alaska. :'( )

32000 miles at this point. We are pulling trailers. That's harder than normal on rear tires. Couple of them could have gone a little further, but logistics out in wilderness sometimes hard to time.

Hey guys,

I talked you at the Tellico Plains Market a couple of weeks ago. I was on my Honda ST1300 at the time. I've been keeping track of your ride on www.wwr2014.com. Looks like you both are enjoying your time in the Smokys.

I'll be at Barber next week...I may see you again...I'll be on my '81 CB750.

Mike

Gotta go to Barber to get pumped about finishing my CBX project. Look for my Tenere with the big Pelican cases. We are enjoying being back on home turf.
