I have been riding vicariously with you on your adventure, Stu. It has kept my spirits up during my down time, thanks for sharing.

+1
I think there are 4 riders still rolling
newday777 - not only riding big miles, but doing a mid-trip rear-end overhaul!
Ofreen - lots of sunshine in Idaho to warm it up, no clutter, no traffic, dramatic landscape, and a hi-mile 750, +++++
willbird - something to be said for heated gear extending the riding season, and the new bike can do it. Target 100?
Now jgger! - good to see you on the move.

My own CB is still in the starting grid but I don’t see much promising weather ahead.
Dennis what’s your status? Your temps are slightly higher than what I have.
BenelliSEI has your snow melted?
Gotta get Terry rolling….
Bud, looks like Stu slipped through Hill Country. From Nacogdoches to New Orleans.

Stu, you’re on the Little Feat Ride!

They were one of my favorite groups. And yes my plan looking at the map book early this morning is to head into Tyler for breakfast then south easterly towards New Orleans
I had intended to hook up with members along the way across the country, and yes to ride the Hill country,  I only caught the upper corner edge of it, but leaving 2 weeks late has been putting the weather change in full view to make it back to NH without weather delays. So it is onward I press on. I've been wearing my heated jacket liner but haven't had to plug it in yet.

Kevin….. it has been snowing non stop since early in the weekend! 4-6” of accumulation. The temp is hovering right around the freezing mark but reports call for significantly warmer over the next few days……

I still have the Varadero in the shop door, with all my gear hanging on it. Maybe one more?
