We spent nearly 60 days out on the road, with just 6 of them being non-riding days. We visited and photographed our motorcycles in front of 180 different places all across the USA. We rode in 42 of the lower 48 states, missing only ME, NH, VT, RI, DE and MT. We put 18,000+ miles on the bikes, with our longest day being 692 miles and averaging 368.2 miles per riding day.
We rode in temperatures as low as 37 degrees and as high as 112. We did spend 5 days in temps reaching into the 100's each day. We got rained on (defined as requiring rain gear to stay dry) just 2 times, for a total of about 2 hours for the entire trip.
We saw many critters, from turkeys and foxes to deer and bear, but none required any real evasive actions to avoid.
Both bikes had both tires changed at approx 12,000 miles into the trip, as well as oil changes at the same time too. My ST1300 required repairs in Ohio after debris damaged my radiator & fans.
