When the guys here in the Pacific Northwest went out for a ride a couple of week ago, I flew to Des Moines IA and picked up a R100rs and rode it back home.
Had great weather for almost all of the trip, here is a shot taken in the Badlands of South Dakota.
Yellowstone was the only problem weather wise, it snowed and hailed and was in general a very beautiful piece of hell.
The bike was not all that I had hoped, I had a few problems on the way home. Fuel leaking from the left carb onto my boot and the header caused delays and later I realized that my starting problems were due to a stripped out spark plug...
That has just provided me with a chance to clean things up a bit.
Anyway, the bike displayed tremendous spirit getting me home although running so poorly, I traveled 892 miles the last day, from Ennis Montana to home, Edmonds WA. Now I have a fun project that will result in a nice addition to my garage. I have to credit discussion on this board for getting me interested about getting a boxer again, they hold a special charm for those that appreciate them..."bleeding tractors" as one of ours once said.
