Couple of final shots...

You don't look very happy for someone on a vacation.

We call them "keeping it real shots." Besides, it wasn't a vacation - it was research! Thanks for all of your info, doctor...

Research........................cool, maybe you can get a government grant to continue. :lol:

Nice, but she looks even less happy than you - probably from having to live with you and the bike for a week in the trailer on a vacation. (J/K, joke). :poke2:

Now that you know how all this works, are you going to do it again sometime?

Probably not. Can't rule it out completely but the bottom line is I had a better time when it was just me and the bike. There's an endless list of Things That Can Go Wrong (and Cost You A Lot of Money) and a lot of work to do connecting and disconnecting. Plus they're a bitch to drive and the gas cost is astronomical. If I go with the wife it's got a bit of an edge but even there... I kinda prefer going alone. I did appreciate it when it rained all night Saturday and some of Sunday morning. Would have sucked in a tent. Maybe if I hadn't gone so far and if the trip was more days the aggravation would have been less and the usefulness higher.

So I guess... It depends.

Now that you know where things can and will go wrong let it slide for a while. Maybe next time you can have little closer destination, less driving, being parked some place longer and just ride and enjoy. It is human nature to want it all, yes we are a greedy species and do tend to grab too much sometimes. I know I used to be a real glutton and got all choked up when things went south.
