Sounds like an awesome trip! Are you going North or South first? Is that Whitefish/Kalispell MT you are going to? My uncle lives there and always has awesome photos of Glacier National Park.

Edit: Can you see your gauges with that GPS?

I was thinking of going south first but don't have plans/hotels set it stone.

Yep, plan on rolling through Kalispell and checking out Glacier National Park. My old neighbor is always telling me how the park is and that if I ever go that way I need to check it out. Only planned on cruising through for a little bit but might try and leave a whole day to be around the area so I can ride around and really take it in.

You ever been up there?

I can see the top of the RPM gauge in a normal crouch and if I straighten out my back I can see them with no problems. GPS also tells me how fast I'm going which I'll probably use when in a crouch leaning on the tank bag.

Thats nutty but awesome. I couldnt stand my gsxr750 for over a 30 minute ride lol. Wrists would fall asleep, no idea how you can go across the country on yours. haha

I took a trip with a buddy to Colorado and that is going to be a lot of riding, your crotch/butt might not like you! We did 850 miles in one day on the way back and I couldn't ride for a week. He didn't ride for almost a month. I would try to limit it to around 500 miles/day. We rode every day we were down there and it starts to wear on you.

Yea I've been there, but it's been quite a few years. My family goes to MT every year but we don't make it that far north very often.
Soon the glaciers will be completely gone, I would definitely recommend taking a full day there and do a few short hikes to see them.

Even long trips in the car sound good until you start driving, good luck man that is insane.

Iron butt patch is in order! Should join some sweet motorcycle gangs along the way. Maybe make some money doing drug runs lol. Did you get a cruise control throttle yet?

I've been lucky and never had that problem luckily! Figure probably wont have the opportunity to take that much time off and have to worry about any major responsibilities so might as well do it now while I still can.

Yea I don't think my butt will be a big fan of it but should be lots of fun! My longest stretch is 570 miles from Seattle to Glacier National Park other then the 650 mile first day through boring SD. Then maybe an 800 mile day to get home. Most other days are under 500 miles and all twisty roads so hopefully doesn't get too boring.

Only taking the interstate through SD then some on the northern route otherwise it's all back highways and county road stuff. Hopefully the two-three days I spend in CA not riding much halfway through will be a good little break!

Definitely want to take a day around the area and check out the park some more. Thanks for the idea!

Yea hopefully it's still fun even on the way back lol

Drug runs sounds like a great way to make the trip almost free:draught2:

I didn't but I'll probably order one today at some point!

Wouldn't be I bad idea to get your conceal and carry permit.

Jesus christ thats a lot of riding!
