There was a pack of cruisers at a gas station east of Lewiston. They didn't wave.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-31859108608551583092012-05-01T23:53:20.592-05:002012-05-01T23:53:20.592-05:00awesome! you should do it!

Please keep those fingers crossed until we meet in about four week? mm'kay?? thanks! :) <br /><br />yea, different states seem to have very different prices on gas. Must be the varying about of tax they add. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments. I enjoy reading them! <br /><br />I've never sat on a SFV, but I assume they are similar. I don't have any issues with my SV, but I also like to get off it regularly and take breaks. You can check it out when we come visit.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-23254977481483631382012-05-01T17:22:57.521-05:002012-05-01T17:22:57.521-05:00Enjoying the ride!

It would be driving my Honda Shadow from Texas to Utah.

Fingers are crossed for more sunny skies today.<br /><br />I agree with those views you took a picture of outside of Helena, beautiful.<br /><br />And $3.69 for regular gas. It is $4.03 for regular here in Corvallis.<br /><br />I am really enjoying following your trip. Thank you for taking the time to blog it.<br /><br />Oh and from someone who rides an SFV how are you doing on the SV?

Great idea. I'll have to try that this year on my blog. I seem to post the best pics, then the others tend to get lost in my computer or photobucket.

It had diesel, E85, regular (85.5), and premium (87). When did 87 become premium?! <br /><br />Yes, I got lucky with the wet gravel. lots of trucks had packed it down, so it was pretty solid. <br /><br />I didn't really cover that... I am using my netbook as I have on previous trips. So far I've been lucky with wifi and not had to use 3g which will end as soon as I goto Canada. I CAN charge off the bike, but have been using outlets in the places I've been staying. (no tenting yet as it has been to wet and rainy). I can't charge in the rain, so things might get interesting later.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-74709873262565922172012-05-01T08:37:57.375-05:002012-05-01T08:37:57.375-05:00Chris, It's a ton of fun tracking your progres...Chris, It's a ton of fun tracking your progress.

(it did have diesel and LP I think as well... something weird like that).. nearly dropped the bike from the side stand sinking into the mud... blah... I wonder if I still have the photo somewhere.. <br /><br />Probably covered in your prep blogs, but what is your computer setup like? are you charging off of the bike, or electrical at tent locations?William Hhttp://www.twitter.com/todkapuznoreply@blogger.com
