No matter how hard you plan for a long trip, life will always throw a curve ball.

For starters, it was rain for 75% of the way and otherwise there are other unexpected issues that can throw a wrench in your spokes and bring everything to an abrupt halt.

Getting the bike ready.

Truth! :lol One of the very few on a sport tourer as well.

Waaaaaay longer than expected. Left at midnight made it in around 2am so 26 hours? Took 4 naps around an hour each.

Loved Charlotte, have a friend down there. Good times.

Maybe when I edit more pics.

It went on an offroading excursion…

Why did they have to build an enclosure for burnouts? That ruins it.
