I'll try to post some pics over the weekend. Chi town, I'm trying to plan a trip to Galena again w/ some buddies, you interested?
If I'm available, I'm always down for a road trip. Now I just have the problem of deciding what to drive.





Here's a few more pics of the second part of my trip last week.
I ended up heading north and spending 3 more days riding. I was lucky enough to put on 2000 miles in 5 days.
I stayed it Stevens Point, Wisconsin the first night, then a nice cabin in Eagle River the second night.
Such natural beauty, and nice roads.
The last day, a 400 mile dash home in 50 degree overcast weather wasn't quite as fun as the rest of the trip, but I really have no complaints at all. I had to hurry home in time to leave in my car for the Windy City BMW Yokohama/ Tire Rack Challenge in South Bend.

I know the cooler isn't the prettiest, but I did the second 1000 miles with a lady friend, it really helped her acting as a backrest, I'm waiting on a topcase.......
