What A Trip!!!

longshot · 08-24-2007

Just got back from an amazing trip to the coast. Anyone who doubts the abilties of the 900 just needs to go on a trip like this. "Betsy" performed wonderfully. Thanks to the new gel seat didn't have any problems with long rides. Put 4573 k's on this trip and there wasn't an issue. Lots of compliments on the bike. I am trying to attach some pics but keeps telling me oversize, if anyone has some hints how to attach pics I would appreciate it.

I use Microsoft Photo editor to resize to 40%, from a 7.1 megapix, then upload to photobucket.
What size is your picture?

Nice long ride. Aren't the 900's great? I love mine. I just joined Photobucket and pics work great from that site.

longshot,

You can upload your photos to Photobucket.com then click on the url box that says "IMG code" below each of your photo thumnails. This will automatically copy the image. You can then paste the image to your message in the thread.

Hope that helps.

where did you get the lowers?

longshot · 08-24-2007

My dealer ordered right from Kawa. Best money I ever spent.

Man those were some GREAT shots.
I was wishing I was there!

Thanks for sharing, gives me something to look forward to one of these days....

GREAT pics! But...how could you possibly take a long road trip on a tiny little 900? Why, that bike won't even get you to the 7-11 for Cheetos. Don't you secretly yearn for a "real" bike?

Great! Thanks for sharing, glad you had a good trip.

cmptrmn.1 · 08-24-2007

Fantastic pics. NW is the best place (other than winter).

longshot · 08-24-2007

Just a few more pics for ya.

Trip was great, people were unreal friendly, even met one guy from Norway that shipped his bike over to tour Canada! Was a Honda that isn't made here but can't pull the name up right now!

Glad to hear you had a great ride. The scenery on the pics are breathtaking. No doubt, the 900 will perform the way you want it. Congrats on the ride and I enjoyed the pics.
