ROK Big Trip Letter

Would like my friends at ROK and Kawasaki to know I just finished a 9850 mile,24 day, 30 State trip with my 900 Vulcan LT. Over the Continental Divide, thru the Mojave Desert, and out of the Tropical Depression in New Orleans, my Vulcan was rock solid. Confidence inspiroring, and since I was riding solo that meant a lot. Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Needles Highway, Crazy Horse, Yellowstone, Custer National Park, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, Pacific Coast Highway one from Cresent City to San Diego, Grande Canyon, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, New Orleans,LA,Alabama, Miss. Bradenton Fla. and The Dragon Deals Gap.318 curves,11 miles. What an awesome handling bike! Thank You for building such a great, durable, dependable, and fun Kawasaki Vulcan 900;o) Rich Tanzini Jr, RoK member and NYS MSF Motorcycle safety Instructor 130141

Tires used on Big Trip

Would like to take the time to mention 9850 miles in 24 days, 30 States all on one set of tires. Metzeler ME 880 Marathons on my 900 Kawasaki Vulcan gave a smoothe ride with fantastic grip and wet road confidence. My Wife, Kim, and I, and my riding friends can't believe how much tread remains and how evenly they wore. I figure theres 3 or 4 thousand miles left of use on them. The front looks new and the rear has used 2 or 3 thousandths of rubber. Not bad considering the heavy load of gear I was carrying, high heat thru the Mojave Desert, and heavy rain through a Tropical Depression heading out of New Orleans. Just wanted to let You know.

Last page continued

seems like 20 years of endless road construction but is getting better. Maybe by time I'm 65 will be done, probably. Seemed like I was riding downhill with the wind at my back from here, picking up momemtum with each passing mile. Stopped @ the last PA. rest stop to call Kim, Fried Whiting and Perogies would be waiting for me on arrival to my MOMs' home in Endwell NY. Approaching Binghamton a warm feeling came over me and the Vulcan was on auto pilot with a beacon bearing towards home. The feeling of accomplishment was flooding over me as I traced back all I had just done, and tears came to my eyes as images rushed thru my head. Took exit 69 to Endwell and called Ma saying I'll be landing in 5 minutes. Pulled in the drive way to outstretched hands of my daughters,Sara,10,Jess,14, and my wonderful Wife. We snapped up some final pics and I dismounted the Vulcan, thanking her for the rock solid durability,confidence, and getting me home safetly.
