Excellent David! You have accomplished a true feat, at least IMO, and did it safely and sanely. My most sincere congratulations!
Great write- up of the whole trip. I can tell by reading it that we have felt some of the same incredulity in crossing this entire country in 2 days.
I have delayed writing about my own trip for a few years now mostly because I have not been able to find the right context for what I would like to express about the trip. Your own story is a great motivator because it does not focus on the hardship or trials of such a run but rather the experiences one has on a ride like this, some expected and some not expected. I may try once again to sit down and put my thoughts into some kind of cohesive, sane order and express what it is like to make such a journey.
Again, a great ride and a great write- up. Wear the badge with pride; it is worth at least $0.11 or it is priceless, depending on your point of view.

For those that are interested, or just want something to cure their insomnia, here is a write-up of my recently completed 50cc on the C14. I'm 70k into my 2010 and continue to love what it does no matter what I through at it!
