Sounds like a beautiful trip overall but, I had to laugh at this section...
The gnats were the worst, followed by the gooey things that kept hitting my visor.
I know the feeling. But, think what it would be like without a faceshield? Wait until you get the big bugs. The first time I had a beetle hit my faceshield almost made me dive for the ditch. Sounded like a gunshot. :laughing:

Bike got dropped off at the shop for a new set of tires. I went with BT45 for front and rear.
Bridgestone Battlax's ? That's the same tire as Triumph puts on the Bonnevilles. Is that different than what you're running now? I'll be interested in what you think of them.

Happy anniversary to you and DH.

I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but it was funny looking at your vid....the fall was like slow motion. If you have to have target fixation, then you picked the right thing to zero in in. :laughing:
