Keep the shiny side up and your eyes open. Enjoy the ride and stay away from the squishmobiles.

Approx. 3990 miles logged and the wing 'n I are safely back in Washington. I'll post pictures and the whole story soon...

For now I'm exhausted. I can still hear the hum of the engine...

Ol man this is awesome I have 82 Honda GW and it needs a run like this to get the cobwwebs out of it..and ME too... I have faith in my bike it would make the trip,,Its me that i worry about having to live on mophine for back and hips...Been on 5& 6 hundred mile trips and made it...Any way BIGmarkie your goldwing will go any place you want to go they are the BEST....

BIGmackie- I was stationed at Sub Base Bangor for many years - I understand about the weather....we come back to the Seattle area every year...hoping to move to Sequim when my wife retires....actually thinking about riding my '83 from KY to visit family in Seattle/Bothell.... never ridden that long before (google says 38 hours), but might be kinda fun glad I bought a Utopia back rest! LOL
