But just barely!! I just spoke with Scott, who reports that on Monday, 40 miles from home, going at speed with traffic (80 mph) at 3:30pm on I-25 near Fort Collins, CO, his back tire blew out. Talk about soiling your chaps! Good thing he's got the experience to know to not touch the brakes. Sounds like his getting the bike off the road was also an ordeal....those wacky Colorado drivers. But he reports that it's all good, he's fine, was just bummed that he couldn't majestically roll into his driveway, conqueror of all things motorcycly. No word from Alberto yet--hoping all's well with him, sure that it is. Other than that, I guess this is the postscript, cuz I'm happy and slightly sunburned and vibratey and home. Quite an adventure; about 2950 miles (the last 1000 of them over Monday and Tuesday) through some of the prettiest country I've seen. Thanks to all who've been following along and rooting for us, hope you enjoy these few more pics from Sturgis. Stay tuned in the next few weeks....we'll be blogging during our next trip as well--a production trip around the world!

I MADE IT HOME JUST FINE. Cruised through an incredibly gorgeous Wyoming (Dick Head Cheney notwithstanding). Northern Utah was awesome. Rode for 11 hours thefirstday and 8 hours the second day.
Cruised into the Vegas valley with the B-52's "Legal Tender" blasting in my vid-iPod.
The doggies were crazy to see me home. Stripped off the leathers and jumped into the pool.
Mark, you rock. This was a trip of a lifetime.
Ciao, Dude.
Oww - Scotty - that could've been a disaster. Good thing you were wearing your assless chaps. Bravo brave men! Any trip that ends safe and sound at home is a great trip, as long as there's strippers in it somewhere. What a great nation. Hooray for Deadwood! Hooray for the Chaps! -Dave
