Looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing your pictures with us :thumbsup:
We have been to most of those places, in the family truckster.
I took a bike trip with the wife, many years ago, before we had kids and we went 2500 miles, without leaving Texas :rockon:
Check out the Big Bend National Park area some time, cool place, the river road, between Study Butte and Lajitas is great for a bike.

Amazing pics! Looks like you saw a lot!! I need to go to a few of those places someday!
2100 miles is insane on a street bike. cool pics, i bet your glad you did it now.
Glad to see everything worked out for you. Were you the one talking about making this trip last year or so? I just rememeber someone asking if that was too for on a sport bike.
That is the south rim, in the town of Grand Canyon, about ~80 or so miles away from Flagstaff. I was in that EXACT spot last summer, I took almost the same EXACT picture... SO cool to see that spot again.. Ill dig up my cross country trip pics and show you how close we were to standing in the same spot.
EDIT: I pulled one of the pictures off my myspace, its not the same angle, and this is a picture my best friend took of me on that out crop.. Im that tiny little speck sitting on the edge. Ill do more digging thru my CDs to find the exact picture, but you can see how close w were to the same spot.
EDIT:: Its so awesome to look at someone elses picture and say "Yea, Ive been there, Ive done that"

I havent even read your post yet, just excited to hear back from you. Man this trip has actually been on my mind LOL for a long time. I remember last year when you started a thread about it, and I was trying to convince you not to hahahahah Good to hear from you bud.
I really would have preferred this to have been left in Road Side :nonono:
Thanks
I would not make this trip in a car, it's like the difference between camping in a tent and bringing a drive in camper imo.
Thanks :beer:
It wasn't bad, I think I have one of the more comfortable seats out of the sportbikes. The weather was perfect most of the time but there were a couple times it wasn't cooperating. I ran into some rain, snow, hail... You know all that good stuff :lol1:
Rolled everything up and it fit nicely, I had about 5 shirts, 4 pairs of jeans and everything else I needed. I was suprised how much I could cram into those things.
Thanks :beer:
Ha I would probably do it again in a few weeks if I had the time and money, but it probably won't be anytime soon since I have neither lol :nonono:
I bet, I'm starting to miss the roads out there in AZ already.
Thank you :thumbsup:
Definitely will keep that in mind, don't know if I'll ever be out there but if I am I will be sure to check it out.
Thanks for the info :beer:
No problem :coolman:
Thanks and I sure did, it was amazing :rockon:
Nope, I just made sure to fill up every 100 or so miles, didn't even have any close calls really. Monument Valley is one of the coolest places I have ever been to, I loved it.
Eh, It's not as bad as you may think, my ass hurt more than anything lol :dw:
That it was :banana:
Thanks, yeah I did all the basic maintenance beforehand, changed the oil, plugs, and coolant. It only had about 10k on it at the start of the trip so it handled it pretty well.
Goodluck, you won't regret it, the most beautiful views I have ever seen.
Thanks and no problem :beer:
Thanks :thumbsup:
Haha it sure was :rockon:
:beer:
For sure, thanks for the info :beer:
You won't believe it, the pics do not do these places justice.
Oh for sure, thanks man :thumbsup:
Yep that was me! I finally did it, thanks :beer:
Haha that is awesome, what are the chances lol it's a great place to see, the pics do not do it justice.
Yep sure did, I'm back :beer: There is the Lansing cruise night this Sat I believe, I may take the Cobra up there if it's nice.
Haha yeah man I finally did it and it was a blast. The pics should speak for themselves lol I took hundreds and couldn't be happier with the trip!
:beer:
Eh, it would have been nice to have someone to tag along with but I had a great time either way. I am just glad I went through with it and had as good of a time as I did. These pics will definitely keep this amazing trip fresh in my memory.

Did you make it to pikes peak in colorado springs? Such an epic road going up.
Man nice pics. I have been to the four corners also and enjoyed it.
Thanks :beer:
For that exact reason I had my throttle lock, it definitely saved my wrists.
Man I have no idea what I spent. If I had to guess I would say in the area of $600 on the trip and about another $500 on stuff for my bike. These are rough estimates though, but it was definitely worth every penny. More expensive than shipping the bike but also a hell of a lot more fun.
Huh :shrug:
I was by myself if that's the question
Well I live right outside Chicago, driving in Chicago sucks but the city is cool.
It sure is :beer:
Looks about right, very cool pics man :rockon:
I don't think so, I didn't go any further North than Denver. I'm not exactly sure where Pikes Peak in but I don't remember seeing anything about it.
The four corners was cool, just nice to be able to sey I've been there. Definitely worth the $3
