I'm thinking I should have done a Bun Burner rather than another SS but I learned some very valuable lessons on this ride that will help with the BB and future LD rides.

I don't know him well enough to impose myself and this was done so last minute. I have a dear friend in Aurora, CO so this will not be my last trip.

He is a true epic rider in evey sense of the word -- and a BMW jockey at that. I was as proud of you accomplishing this ride as if I had done it myself. In truth, I did an ecclair-butt rie over Labor Day.

I rode from Kanorado through St. Louis--what an experience--with much time in Hays, Hill City, Nicodemus, Salina, and Topeka. So much to say...David Letterman exaggerates and is more than a little hyperbolic!Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-90556503225459686632009-09-10T14:50:23.010-05:002009-09-10T14:50:23.010-05:00soul671--welcome!

Hope you didn't feel that way or will feel that way when you go to Nicodemus and Topeka.

I'm working on a research project on Bessie Stringfield and am trying to uncover some new or unique information about her. I was told you were a big Bessie fan and maybe you could be of some help.<br /><br />I know you're on the road, but you can reach me via email whenever you get the chance:<br />BessieStringfieldResearch@yahoo.com<br /><br />I'll check back here again if you prefer to respond to my comment.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your trip!
