    My Wife is riding her Strada from Oxnard, California to Dover, Delaware. She is in Zion NP, Utah at the moment and I will meet her in Monument Valley for the ride home. ( I’m on a Honda AT). 18519589-7F6C-4459-AAB1-BDCA4B1987A2.jpeg

    We’ve now ridden through Monument Valley, Mesa Verde NP, and Great Sand Dunes NP. We are currently in the Rocky Mountain NP. 44763FBE-975C-45E3-85F7-70F9887D3FAB.jpeg BA939121-B1F4-4AB7-9442-14D74507A9FE.jpeg

    Lincoln Hwy.jpg Medicine Bow Peak, Wy.jpg One last photo of the Strada on US 30, the Lincoln Hwy. in Iowa and us in the Medicine Bow NF, WY. We made it home to Delaware today.

    The Strada ran perfectly across the USA, from 12,000 ft. elevations in the Rockies to 100 degree heat in the Midwest. My Wife's advice for long distance riding on this bike: get a good throttle lock and keep your speeds below 80 mph due to the buzy nature of a big single. BUT, the great handling and lightweight are wonderful on the secondary, twisty roads of the mountain and Appalachia States!
