My wife and I have the next 18 days off! I love it! Bags are packed, the Drifter has a fresh oil change, bath, and a new set of home-made lowers(thanks to this site 8))! Tomorrow morning we roll out for a 18 day road trip that'll take us to Gulfport, Ms to see our son and daughter-in-law(both Seabee's)and our 7 month old grandson. We'll spend just over a week with them and then head west across Louisiana, north through east Texas, wander through Arkansas for a while, up through Missouri, and back home. If there's anyone in those areas, I would love to hook up for at least a meet-n-greet. Man, I love road trips!! ;D
Ahhh, Shaddup!!! LOLOL!!! ;D ;D Man, I envy you! It has been raining like a cow p!$$ing on a flat rock (excuse my language, those of you of the gentler persuasion) since yesterday morning; almost 3 inches so far, more to come. I don't mind riding in the rain, done many a mile in it, but prolonged down-pours are not fun. Have a care, ride safe. If you can, pics are always welcome on this site.
Ride safe;
Regards and such,

Have a BALL and ride safe, KS!
Have a great time and ride safe!
Made it to Gulfport, MS yesterday afternoon, 565 miles on Thursday and 450it yesterday. I can't complain a bit, the Drifter ran great averaging right at 40mpg. About the only downside was riding in Gulfport rush hour traffic in a downpour. Now to hang out here with our son, daughter in law, and grandson for the next week.
Sounds like too much fun!!!

Just got back from Florida (Amelia Island) rained the whole time!... nice and sunny driving back, now 3 days of rain here in TN!
I hear ya about the rain, we rode in last Friday in the rain and it finally stopped Wednesday. The past couple days have been gorgeous. I can't complain though, the rainy days spent with family are priceless and it allowed me time to hook up with a talented artist I've known for a few years and get some more ink done. Tomorrow we're heading to New Orleans for the day. Sunday will be a lazy day, beer and departure prep, lol! Then Monday it's back on the road. So far the only casualty has been a headlight lense, but the local kawi dealer got one in and I got it installed last night while enjoying some Corona with my son.
Glad to hear you are having a good (and safe) trip. Time with family is too soon gone; best to enjoy it while it is there. Have fun and be safe...

Made it home! 2313 miles and the Drifter didn't miss a beat. The only downside is having been sick with an upper respiratory infection for the last 4 days and having to ride the last 3 hours home in 100+ heat while sick, ugh. Oh well, soaking up the ac now 8) It was an awesome trip. I still over 600 pics to go through and once that's done I do a trip write up on my blog and put a link here!
Too bad about being sick; that's no fun. Glad it was a good trip otherwise, we are waiting on pics!!

A memorable trip for sure!
