Little Bighorn
Battlefield Tour 2000
|
|
A Trip of Extremes:
- From perfect & sunny one day to snow, rain & hailstorms the
next!
- From sleeping on volcanic cinders under a million stars in the
middle of nowhere one night to sitting in a Red Lion lounge listening
to the locals sing karaoke versions of "The Streak" &
"Convoy" the next.
- From all-you-can-eat smorgasbords of sparsely traveled twisties to
miles of superslab filled with trucks & RVs.
- From two renowned sport touring bikes, the Honda ST1100 & the
Honda VFR750F to two highly regarded, strictly sport bikes, the Honda
Super Hawk and the Suzuki SV650. And then on the last day, adding a
Honda CBR1000F and a Kawasaki EX500 to the mix.
- And for one of us, from an H-D
Evo Road King to 9 days on 6 amazing sport bikes. Life may never
be the same for Lenny!
