  BMW Around the West Epilogue   

Several things come to mind now that the trip is over.  The only bad part of the trip was the road construction and the times I had to ride on congested freeways.  I found that I missed my wife and there were several times I would have enjoyed sharing the experience with someone else.  The Beemer ran beautifully.  I discovered that I need waterproof gloves and boots and that I prefer not to ride in the rain.  I also found out traveling by motorcycle is a great way to see the scenery. Nothing better.

Would I do it again?  Just give me an atlas, three weeks vacation, and turn me loose.  You know, Florida isn’t all that far away….hummm.
