A few words about a long trip on a small bike (250 cc) - Page 3

Terry, often wondered if you guys ever made the trip. Glad to have stumbled onto this. Great pics and great report!

Wish I knew you were in the area (Concord). Would have been my pleasure to buy you guys a cold one.

Full Jealousy...really nice trip!

You have demonstrated the spirit of Adventure Riding, a real challenge, great friends, and dreams fulfilled. What a nice report.

I enjoy those big rides on small bikes. Thanks for taking the time to post about your adventure.

Great reading...great photos...inspiring all of us to seek adventure into a new territory!

Time for you to be planning another trek to keep us entertained along the way.

Thanks for your fantastic ride report, looking forward to more.

Man you guys really ate up the miles! That had to be a fun ride... how was the weather in the mountains?

Good stuff

Maybe you could get Bob to join up here and answer questions about his bike

SheWolf · 04-07-2010, 10:31 PM

Awesome RR!

Bob's got that bike modded up pretty good! Sounds like he'd do it again in a heartbeat, he said (if work and family allowed). So the mighty WR proves its worth once again.

Thanks Terry!

armycopter · 04-08-2010, 04:01 PM

That's really cool. I live about 5 miles from the pier you were standing next to in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

It looks like you had a blast. I would love to try something like that.
