I can't believe you've done almost 10,000 miles. Although by now you are probably over 10,000.
ReplyDeleteMy butt hurts just thinking about it.
yup, almost 11,000 now. I went another 400 today. When I think of your bike, my butt hurts. lol!
DeleteRight about now you start to think that Key West is sort of on the way then New England and before you know it NZ is on the way back to MN....
ReplyDeleteit IS on the way! You have to remember you are writing to the guy who thinks Alaska is on the way to San Diego ;)
DeleteIf only I could win the powerball and keep riding. I guess I have to buy a ticket first huh?
Or strike oil or come with the next Facebook or even an Instagram would be sufficient.
