The trip report is on page 3

From Virginia city we just run back home.

It was not that hot (101 was the max temp.)

Check the trip report at the end of this page.

The iPod + Dice

it worked fine for 800 miles and then it crash again.
I'm not sure why. At this time we had this music playing and them just stop playing. I didn't do nothign...

Could be heat? but was much hotter on the way there, why it crashs only at that point?

Ztech Vstream

In my humble opinion: it's bad.
Really bad windshield.
It's noise and it's not up to the manufacture promisse of a good wind/noise protection.
My wife didn't like it either.

We had almost 1400 miles of a great ride (noise because the Ztechnic Vstream, but great) with no other problem with the bike at all.

The cost for camping was $16 per night (x2)

the cost for the motel was $60 per night (x1)

the food was around $80 total (3 days)

the gas was about $105 total (1400 miles)

Who is Elton

I was born in Brazil and my wife and I moved to USA, California in 1996, for a change in our lives. Took us some time to learn the language and get into this country, but I think we are doing very well expect the learning a new language after 35 is not easy. We became citizens in 2007.
 My wife and I we love to travel and by the time I was writing this page, we have logged more them 100.000 miles on few motorcycles we had and now we are riding this BMW K1200LT 2002, many more miles on our car and much more on the airplane.
Winter we do Snowmobile, Summer we go to the lakes for water sports (PWC) and we motorcycle year around (one of the goods of living in sunny California).
