pics from my Chicago to STL ride on my B6

[JRK5892]

have to say I am impressed by the touring ability of the bandit... held 75 - 80 no problem, very confortable... new seat may be in the future something a bit more cupped and softer but other than that was a blast!!! got rained on on the way there, but nice on the way back.  Wife left 2 days early so i did not get to see her on the way out there but on the way back she followed me and we did some coutnry roads and hit a winery for a glass of wine to break up the ride... was a blast, stoked to do it again in a few weeks but this time will be on the harley. awesome wedding... so much fun!
 
here are some pics!

You found a curve! 

On a more serious note, glad to hear you had a good time and the B6 impressed you with it's touring abilities.  Thanks for sharing your photos, too.

The Bandits tour better than one would think.  Last month I went from San Diego, California -> Flagstaff, Arizona -> Telluride, Colorado -> Grand Junction, Colorado -> Salt Lake City, Utah -> Reno, Nevada -> San Diego again.  From sea level in San Diego to 12,095 feet on Independence Pass in Colorado.  And this was on my 1991 Bandit 400.  Fun.

am surprised you dont go to sleep on roads like that! i couldnt ride roads that straight without going nuts.
at least it sounds like it was a good ride and you got to spend time with wife number 1 and have a glass of wine with wife number 2.
