One foot in the grave out west tour Sept 2010 Part 1.

That was one great ride---and the report was very well done and the pictures were excellent-----From one who lives out here and has rode many of those same trails. Well done!

Great RR and pics!!!!!
Nearly 6800 miles with only minor mis haps, and riding solo through all that rocky terrain out west with a bum hip.................

A++++
Great bike
Good Planning
Great riding

Great RR!

thanks for the time and work of sharing your trip with us. To me, that's the hardest part of any trip is the picture sorting, writing and then, internet work of sharing a trip. Never worry about other people's idea of a trip.
Do your own ;-) .

Great pictures and your writting style had me reading every word of your RR. Lots of details that really brings the reader along with you.

It requires a lot of thought (and time) to put one of these together!

In my book, you did a great job.

That was a great report.....it gave me inspiration to take a trip like that myself sometime in the future.

Thanks for sharing.

Great RR. I enjoyed it very much. I see you passed by my place by about 1/2 mile when comming back into Canada. To bad I didn't know, we might have hooked up and I could have taken you to a great place for breakfast. It might have cut into your arrival time in Montreal though.
I'm sure you feel youv'e accomplished a great deal with this ride.

1 You did it!.
2. Youv'e written a great RR that I and others have enjoyed and learned from.
3. I think youv'e expanded your horizons on what us old FF's can do.

Well Done.

A very well done and entertaining ride report. Way to go old man!

AWESOME!!!! I WANT TO DO THIS SO BAD!!!!!

Great adventure, excellent report. Thank you sir!

Another A+ !!

Thanks for the RR. Your self-deprecating writing style kept me chuckling. And the photos are beautiful.

Thanks for the report and the inspiration, once I started reading there was no stopping.

Wow, thanks to everybody for their compliments! I am so puffed up now that somebody better tell me that my report sucks.

Great ride, great story.
Wishing you a fast recovery!

Hey 52 is still young. I'm 57 and just starting to ride a lot again, mostly alone and on more gravel and dirt with my 1150gs. Your bike is really not that heavy compared to "miss piggy" when loaded with 80 lbs of gear.

Recover quickly from the hip surgery and think young and keep riding.

A+++ for the report and the road traveled.

Awesome report! Loved it!

I think the fact you did it alone and got in some situations where you were close to panic mode and still kept your head on shows a lot.

Hope you don't mine, but I will be using one of your quotes in the future.
