California or bust!

OK, made it home today. It seems the one constant for this trip has been windy gusts. I don't think there was one day of the almost 14 that I road that did not have some gusty side winds. It surely wore me out.

I am thankful that I did not run into any major weather. After I left Kansas, Kansas and Oklahoma had some major fronts come through with T-storms and damaging winds. Later Nebraska, our neighbor to the North had flooding and tornadoes. I did not have one drop of rain the entire trip. I guess that's because I brought my rain gear along!

For storage, I had my GIVI top case, the Frunk of course, my Wolfman soft saddlebags and a 30 liter drybag. This allowed me to bring a whole lot of stuff. Did I need it all? No, but I would rather bring more and need less in contrast to bringing less and needing more.

Welcome home!!! Glad you had a good time in spite of the wind. One day I'm going to take a trip like this.

Excellent trip, amazing you did all that in 14 days, can't wait for mine to start too.

Glad to hear you made it home in one piece, Gary. I missed by a day and a few miles as I was in South Lake Tahoe while you were passing through to the south of the lake into Nevada.

Sound like good trip I really impressed with your road trip and you are a big rider of the bike and I want to know that how much day was to be completed? and how much people along with you?
