Hi everyone,
I don't post much here but I thought I'd share a few things. I've been working on getting my bike back into good touring form after wrecking about 8 months ago. I finally got it back and all I have left to do is install a comfort seat. Well I'm going on a ride from Ventura, CA (hour north of LA) out through vegas to St. George and on a big loop around southern and eastern/central utah and northern AZ. The ride itself is 2058 miles, over 5 days. I ride with my dad who has a 2013 Super Tenere and his patient/friend Tom who will be riding either a moto guzzi breva 1100 or bmw r1100r. So their bikes are completely toured out to the max so I'll have some fun tryin to stay comfortable riding with them.
Anyways, if anyone has read Rider magazine july 2013 issue with the cb1100 on the front there is a feature article called "Fire, Brimstone, and Waterfalls", which was a trip my dad and our 'tourmaster' Tom went on through Oregon. and Tom wrote the article and they published it just a few months later. Hopefully we'll get a good enough scenery that hasn't been written about too much so we can write another article.
Another thing I wanted to mention was that my Dad an I are using Sena SMH10 bluetooth intercom headsets that have worked Great, especially when paired to gps/iphone/etc. I'll post pics when my bike is in full touring mode (luggage,etc).'
Here is the itinerary he put together (can you tell he's retired?)
