Cross Country

hey, this is sort of nuts, but im about to fly to washington state, buy a bike, meet up with a good friend of mine sport-touring out there right now, and ride back with him. anyways, a few things

if anyone lives anywhere on or near a route going from washington to wyoming, to colorado, then back across to virginia and can help me with anything im looking for, let me know

r6 tail fairing
r6 headlight or just the headlight lens for the right bulb

looking for saddle bags or other riding luggage
first, looking for motorcycle boots, size 10 or 10.5

and also, this is kind of random, but ill be looking places to campout, so if you know of any good and relatively cheap places to camp, let me know

last, any roads you recomend, or places you recomend seeing, let me know. ill be leaving washington state either late saturday night or early sunday morning.

just got back... in a bit less than four days, i covered about 3700 miles on a stock but busted up r6. as soon as i bought the bike (sunday night) i jumped on and road for 24 hours, doing about 1500 miles. then took it easy and found my buddy, in denver by the time i back tracked a bit and found him, he didnt know i was coming. then yesterday and today i drove back from denver to virginia, with a few stops here or there, and one stop this morning to sleep on a park bench in my full leathers after a night of driving, im suring i looked rediculous sleeping sitting on a picnic table with my head on my tank bag, dressed from head to tow in a full joe rocket highside 2pc suit. anyways, yeah, im back, ill post up some pics when i upload them.
