Wow. I bet that was something. How did it handle on the salt?

 

[rob06r]

slippery!...haha it did great except for the high traveled area where it was loose like sand!.....the worst part of the trip was the side winds in Nebraska!!!

Ha my dad was just telling me that on his trip to Sturgis the worst state to ride in was Nebraska.

Did you top the bike out on the flats?

Cool pics! Nice to see other long-distance Buellers I did a 2600 km round trip to Lapland on July. Most of my trip was done in 6 days too, but then spent 1½ weeks in summer cottage before the last 300 km to home.
But total 3500 MILES in 6 days... That's really something...!!! Gotta appreciate that

 

[rob06r]

I didn't race at the flats, was worried about harming the bike and not making it back....The speed limit on the salt during speed week is 55mph.

Must feel good knowing you can ride 3,500 miles having a dependable bike GO BUELL.

...And a dependable lower back [smirk]
