Re: Hey guys, An update on everything over here :)

Dude,

Lots of advice threads on here about touring. Strongly suggest you try a few "one-day" tours before you set out for Montana on that bike. See if you can do 300-400 miles in a day and see how you feel the next day. Also, I seriously doubt you can go from SD to Montana and back in 2500 miles. You can't ride like the crow flies and you will probably want to see something other than the four lane (like, maybe Yellowstone? Grand Tetons? etc.)

Work your way up to a two day trip to San francisco and back. Go up highway 1. If you can do that and still want to ride the next day, you are ready for Montana.

PS. Better get at least some time under your belt on the freeway.
