Will PM you Pete! couple weeks away.

You gave me a new adventure to enjoy every day while chained to the desk, and even though we have never met my wife always enjoyed hearing about how my friend radioman was doing on his journey. If you ever come through the midwest, you’ve got a place in WI to stay. Out of curiosity, what was the total international mileage? (i know you are still going, just really curious so far). Thanks again, and happy trails for the rest of the trip! |
Thanks for the Offer… The total mileage for the trip so far is about 90,000 Miles (150,000KM) 59,000 on the F800GS so far. More stats as I wrap up the trip….. Just trying to figure out how best to present it!
Friday I met up with Mike to go to Jay Leno Show. Then we headed over to the Studio.
Then Got through Security and our order in line…. We got there at appointed time, but lots of people in front of us!
After waiting an hour… We got into the Studio ,…. Back Row 
Was good to go see the show, unfortunately they must have deleted all the emails you ADV riders sent in
Then I rolled back through the heavy LA traffic to the Hotel to meet up with Hells alien . Al was on his way back up to Portland from Baja. We had dinner, and he is carrying my heavy gear, camping stuff back to Portland for me
We had a good time catching up at the local Mexican restaurant…. then updating computer stuff as I got my iPad mini replaced by Apple for it’s faulty screen. 
But needed to get it all restored. Looks like it will be a trip to Apple Store later today!
Staying in LA with Mikes family and then hitting the road tomorrow to ride to SD to meet up with JohnyDakar and Lisa Before heading east to Tucson for Thanksgiving day.
Still jet lagging a bit, but will recover soon.
Thanks for all the Posts, PM’s, emails, texts, calls….. Feeling the love!
