22 day ride across america

I know its not a Triumph ride, I just rode with my wife celebrating our 20th anniversary. We rode across the country and up into Canada to ride the Canadian Rockies on my 1974 Suzuki GT750 (two stroke). Here is a link you can see all the pictures along the way .www.flickr.com/photos/gt750 I am leaving again Sept 5th to ride my 09 Bonneville T100 to the grand Canyon on a two week camping trip. I hope to be posting pictures of that ride also. It will be at www.flickr.com/photos/ironbuttallen

Wonderful adventure! Kudos to you both! Maybe I should include the bike as the third member... Ya, that's it. Kudos to all three!

Thanks for replies on a non Triumph ride... I am really stuck on the old bikes and is why I like the T100 so much.. It has the the look of my old 70s Triumph, without all the daily break downs..

I am on another ride right now on the T100.. I left a week ago to ride to the Grand Canyon.. I left there yesterday and I am in Colorado tonight.. I have been camping, but it was raining and 52 degrees.. I decided to get a room... I have a lot of pictures, but will get my wife to load them next week when I get home.. I will be heading up to Pikes Peak tomorrow.. I have put 2930 miles so far this trip. I will have over 13K miles on my 3 month old 09 Bonnie by the time I get home next week..
I am getting 53-61 mpg.. I do have a 19 tooth front sprocket

Allen.. Out wasting gas and tires
