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 moved to USA, California in 1996. Took me some time to learn the language and get into this country, but I think now I'm doing quite well. I became an American citizen in late 2007.
I love to travel and by the time I was writing this page, I had logged more them 140.000 miles on the motorcycles I have/had. My current bikes are one 2002 BMW K1200LTe and one 2003 BMW R1150GS. Also there are many more miles on my car and much more on airplane trips.
Winter I try to do Snowmobile. Summer is time for water sports (PWC) and I motorcycle year around (one of the benefits of living in sunny California)
