The Bikes

Since the trip all about the bikes, here's a summary.

2009 Kawasaki Concours 14: Paul's bike

Since he needed new tires for the ZRX, Paul figured it was a good excuse to just go ahead and buy a new bike. Great logic ... way to go Paul! So Paul has the class of the field for the Day 1 "Autobahn" Iron Butt part of the trip. It remains to be seen if he can keep up on the dirt sections :^) Moki Dugway ... here we come! Unfortunately there's no photo's ... it's too new!

2002 Honda Shadow 750: Joe's bike

82,200 plus miles and headed for 100,000 ... what more do I need to say? When the bike was new we all rode with Joe to California and it hasn't stopped since. Who knew the Shadow was a dirt bike? It was a great choice on the Dalton when we rode to Prudhoe Bay. Joe, why don't you hurry up and get those 100,000 miles so you can get a new bike?

2005 Suzuki V-Strom 650: Dick's bike

The best all around, can do-everything bike. Bought it to go to Alaska and it proved to be a good choice. Couldn't find a better bike when I returned home, so I still have it. Hey y'all, watch this ... !
