This was great. I waited until I had time to read the whole thing. Glad I did - time well spent.
It was great to see you in WV. I did way too many miles on my trip. Would have preferred to have had more days like you did.
I'll say it again: Madam, you are our inspiration. You are doing it, doing it quite well, and doing it at a FAR younger age than us. What a terrific trip.

Great stuff. If you didn't watch the video of Julie riding the Z125 Pro in the first post, you missed the best part of this whole report. First it's the giggle she's got riding that bike, and then she snorts in her giggles and I lost it. Hilarious, you know you were having a blast on that little bike when you hear that.
Smaller days are great. What's the point of pounding pavement if you don't spend time enjoying where you went, right? Good stuff. I still have yet to take a motorcycle on a ferry, but looks like you are a pro now. Good food pics, I'd like to try one of those BL's you had.
I hope now that you've experience a bad Cuban that you realize why I was filled with such doubt about your place in Colorado. What you had is what I usually find and I'd almost given up finding a good one outside of Florida. But, when you are right, you are right.

I completely understand now! Because if this NJ one was the first I had had, I would have thought it was a good sandwich. But after having true Cubanos... I realize this one sucked. Lol.
And I'm so glad you stopped at the one in Colorado and confirmed that it was proper and really yummy!

I'll give you a hint and let you know you won the lottery on your first try. Stop trying to find gold again because you'll just find yourself disappointed.

Nope, sorry my friend. I am looking for that gold every time.
If you get another chance to look for another pot of gold/cubano/adventure, then you better take advantage of it. To quote John, “Eat every sandwich like it’s your last” Can I add to that and say, “Now go find another one”

I'll take a good club sandwich over a bad Cuban any day. I'll take a good Cuban over a good Club sandwich though. If you don't know how to make one and don't have the proper ingredients, then don't tempt me by putting it on your menu.

Wow Julie. What a fantastic trip and thanks for bringing us along on the ride report. You saw and did SO MUCH!! I thought the hogged thing was a great way to bring a smile to a fellow rider (one day down and the rest up is clever). Sheldon looks like a fantastic new friend. Loved that you mixed some riding and spoiling relaxation in with your trip. Great job!

Cross posting again John?
I guess you won't be needing that coffee sipping BMW when they turn you into a toad!

I'd be really concerned about a comment like that. You might be sorry the handle is still left on that broom when they finish with you.
My God have mercy on your soul. You're on your own here.

Oh shit, I heard Tyler's "Mom voice" just once briefly on my trip, but he's gonna mess with BOTH of them? I bet I feel the aftershocks down here in Texas.

It was good to meet you at EOM. I didn't even think about taking pictures for a ride report. This was a good one.

It will be forthcoming in my ride report... unless I get some sort of payment to not post it.
