All of my bikes have been down at one point or another too. <br /><br /><b>Fuzzy:</b> Thanks! I am also very glad we got to meet. It was way too short though. We must plan a longer get-together next time. <br /><br />I would agree that after the meeting the view of the blog/tweets/etc change. I can hear your voice when reading now. It is nice! hmm... I'm aware of the gap, but not a clue how to resolve it. lol.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-13194197104364447122011-08-17T14:46:03.838-05:002011-08-17T14:46:03.838-05:00I'm so glad we got a chance to meet, Chris.

I really had a great time. <br /><br />I was kinda bummed that I didnt really get a chance to hang with you and John together and talk about traveling over beers. Raincheck? :)<br /><br />Its pretty neat how the dynamic of meeting and getting to know someone in real life changes the way you read their writing and their blogging approach. Even though you post videos, they dont capture the animated REAL you, if that makes sense. I'm glad I got to see that.<br /><br />I've loved following along on your trip. Keep the posts/tweets comin' :)Fuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926326491566256210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-3542438008281491952011-08-17T10:39:46.470-05:002011-08-17T10:39:46.470-05:00Chris,

At this point all of my machines have been on their sides in low-to-no speed tips. Even the new Kawasaki.<br /><br />You're a man right after my own heart when it comes to washing motorcycles. If you've got time to wash, you've got time to ride - though I've been cheating a bit. I've washed the Kawasaki no less than three times since I bought it in late March, but if you look at it another way, that's only once every four thousand miles. <br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your trip.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life<br />http://www.behindbarsmotorcycle.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-27926334022057350732011-08-17T07:44:23.225-05:002011-08-17T07:44:23.225-05:00William: yes, a bit expensive.
