    Too bad I missed ya, it sounds like it was a fantasic trip. Please tell me that you stopped in at Milts Burgers in Moab? Those burgers alone would be worth the trip from Oregon!

    Beautiful trip, did a similar stint about 3 years ago except, I did the national parks in WA and Wy and then headed back to Texas. 4500 in ten days, I love my Capo and would take it anywhere.
    Thanks for the lovely pics. Did Brice once on my Daytona T595 but, I trailered it from TX.

    Surprisingly, we both felt the need to refuel at 200 miles. The KLRs mileage dropped to the mid and low 40s, because of head winds and mountain riding. The Capo held low 40s no mattter the conditions. Usually the KLR would win....... Hands down
