Hey- that little bike was faster than my 250. Maybe more comfortable also. I have ridden a mere 40 miles on the 250, and I tell you I would never make the iron butt club riding it...

I'll be flying into Vegas, party a little with a friend, and then riding the beast home. Yes, Bad word, it's a Harley. plus is that it's an 01 Sportster XL1200C all customed out, one woman owned bike. I've been shopping around quite a bit and the other 1100 plus cc bikes are either just as much or more dollar wise. This one is $4995.00 including new brakes, tires, and complete service. Hotrod. I'll have my own travel story for you soon Stanley. I still can't believe that you rode all that way on that little bike. ________________________________ From: stanley/ Randolph <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, March 6, 2010 8:31:09 AM Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] nighthawk 750 rider and a suzuki sv650 long distance ride Well, from Phoenix, I drove through the Grand Canyon, went up through Bryce Canyon (second visit), then on through Salt Lake and to Ogden my first day. I encountered heavy rain around Flagstaff and missed my turn and had to backtrack about 80 or so miles, and stopped for the night. The next morning was cool, and it was a sight seeing smoke coming from the chimneys of houses as I made my way into Utah. I made it to Salt Lake by around noon, and was fascinated with the very very wide roads, even through the middle of town: if I remember correctly, there were at least two or three lanes each way and head-in parking. It took a while to walk across the road... I stopped in Ogden by mid-afternoon to visit a friend; left the next day (and experienced the fun of dodging potatoes on the road in Idaho:), up into the beautiful mountains through Montana, where I spent the night. Was quite difficult holding onto things when I stopped, because I rode too far without adding layers to keep warm. It was hot in Phoenix, cold in the mountains of Montana, although beautiful... After Arizona Utah, Idaho, and Montana, Washington - with its pastoral, rolling hills and grass on the east end - was boring...

And I was just wondering if I could make it from Mesa, Arizona to Idaho if I bought a bike there. (And it's NOT a Gnat either) ________________________________ From: stanley/ Randolph <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, March 3, 2010 2:19:04 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
