Tod, thank you for (as usual) great write up and pics....can anyone explain why Ian always has a helmet on in all those pics? Did he sleep in that thing, too? LMAONick

Lol, the helmet was left-on under the impression that the stops were scenic pit-stops. Being a modular makes it more convenient to just leave on and flip-up.Originally posted by mikubuilder View Post1979 XS1100F

This's been a good read, I wish I'd been able to ride for it or XSSE this year but 'stuff' happens. Tod, thanks for the pictures and the narrative!
Oh, and Ian -- at least you have a flipper!

GAH! If only I knew. Looks like you guys had a blast. I had just ridden through the U.P. a few days before the ride and the U.P. is my old stomping grounds! Marquette is my hometown. Maybe a leg up the north shore in Minnesota can be done next year too...the Lake Superior shore(U.S. side) is my home territory.XS1100SG "Lucy Ferr" - Build project.
