RE: Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, etc
Excellent trip report, Pdedse! I've been following along all the way. I've been wandering the back roads of the west for many decades and it was great to see a lot of familiar sights.

I didn't have time for a big road trip this summer, but you've definitely got me looking forward to next year. Thanks!

Anyhow, thanks again for the great report. I enjoyed it immensly. The pics and narration were all outstanding.

Thanks, Ferret, glad to know that you enjoy the road reports, I cetainly do. Clarification, you thought the cb1100 was tiny or the other bike you were riding?

The CB. I found it ironic that you climbed off the CB and thought the KLR was small and squirrley (at least that's what I took away from your statement) and I climbed off the ST and climbed on the CB and the CB felt small and squirrley to me.

Got it. I think the KLR felt more thin and squirrley, because it has a 35" seat height...I just got so used to the CB feeling after the trip that made the KLR feel like a new bike to me even though I've had it for 8,9 years and have ridden it bunches. It's fun to have a couple different rides.

Thanks much Flynrider...I hope you have the chance to do get that road trip in next summer...and post pics! I don't know the right half of the U.S. very well, but the left side has some amazing places to ride.
