Made it back home after a 26 hour marathon ride,

Wes left Saskatoon at 7:00am their time, and arrived back in Peoria at 11:00am the following day.

That was quite a ride. Justin stopped in Rockford at his parents house, and Russ and I continued on home.

My speedometer had quit working west of Edmonton, so I do not know the exact mileage yet, but it is somewhere around 9800 miles total.

Total damage to my bike: two engine mount bolts, broken windscreen, broken headlight glass and many scratches on the gas tank from the tank bag and the dirt and crap that got under it on the gravel roads.

The front forks are beat up with little pits from the gravel as well.

I would not take a motorcycle that I considered a showpiece on a trip like this.

I slept for 5 hours then got up when Maggie got home :^). I then slept until noon the next day, and went to bed at 7:30pm last night and just got up.

Now I have some yard work to take care of.

Thanks to all of you who were following us here - it was fun for us to know that you all were watching our progress.
