C -17

Rode from Bozeman to Glendive, a bit under 400 miles. Stopped for breakfast in Billings, eating with family. My friend Scott and brother Deen road on their bikes for the first leg. I was worried about riding my Hayabusa this far in a day. It’s a sport bike and the riding position is for the benefit of the bike, not the rider. It was

much more comfortable and less fatiguing than I expected. I was passed by a Corvette, so I decided he was my hare, and I paced him for some time. Great start, lots of love from family and friends.
