Wisdom gained from my trip to NAFO

1. Wear sunscreen

2. Stand up slowly if you need to get off your seat while traveling above 80 mph

3. Don’t try to keep up with a guy in a yellow helmet after he has downed several Red Bulls at 7 in the morning

4. Posing with the flag girls when stopped for road construction only makes you look older

5. Before riding each morning, use lots of powder on your chapped butt

6. That sharp pain just under your right shoulder blade feels much better after a massage by Sherry in Hilll City

South Dakota

7. If you arrive in Sturgis two weeks before the rally, don’t expect to see any Harleys. FJR’s are welcome

8. If it is dark outside and you are looking for deer and rabbits to avoid, an owl will come from nowhere to wake

you up

9. The best thing about using a GPS is it will tell you how to get back to your hotel.

10. Your tank bag is designed to scratch your tank…. Get over it.

11. Plexus is magic. Use it for everything.

12. Balancing your bike on a downhill slope while trying to take a picture is not recommended

13. Eat in local places where you see lots of pick-up trucks

14. Wash your clothes at every motel that has a washer and dryer

15. Taking the shampoo and lotion from your room each night wastes space for beer.

16. Souvenirs are for tourists. You are not a tourist.

17. Don’t pose for any pictures that your riding mate suggests. You will see them posted on the web with a caption

at a later date

18. You will run into road construction about the time it is starting to rain

19. Beartooth Summit in Montana is one of the best roads in the world

20. Bring an extension cord if you want to recharge your computer, Ipod, cell phone and camera battery each night.

Well done. Thanks for sharing. I am glad to see you made it home safe and sound. We just rolled in about 4 hours ago.

Oh, good cover-up on the Sturgis thing. Obviously you did not want your wife to know about all the naked girls and all . . . . ;)

 
:clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Nice ride!! Thanks for the great photos. I've got to get out west with my bike--I'm glad you did.

 
Nice job Doc, glad to see Old Michael managed to not get lost this time. Although he did get lost on the way to the go karts on thursday. :lol: :lol:

Nice pictures Dr Rich even if Old Micheal is in some of them.

We heard about the Owl and thought it might be you. Glad you are alright
