4 100 mile trips in less than a week

All praise the little GZ250, it really is bulletproof.
Day one, 9/29. Galveston to Pasadena Texas to commune with family at a BBQ cookoff. Traveled the interstate only about 6 miles before diverting to state highway with reduced speed limit. This was a very pleasant ride through small communities along Galveston Bay. Returning home the next day was exciting however. A 45 mile ride home and 40 of it in heavy rain. I've ridden in rain numerous times before but never on the highway, real learning experience.

Days two and three and four, 10/2, 10/3 & 10/5. This time each year I travel to Houston for refresher training required to maintain some licensing for my job. Because of where the school is located the only logical route is directly up IH-45, especially since traffic during travel times on any possible alternate route is typical rush hour mahem. I bite the bullet and just go early to beat the worst of it. I survived.

The bike performed perfectly. I might even say it performed better than I had expected since I have not had a chance to properly service it lately and the 6K service is overdue. I was able to maintain speeds of 60-65 when I needed to and my gas milage figured out at 66.5 mpg. I am very pleased with this bike.

Any forum members close to my area interested in meeting up for the Lone Star Rally in Galveston in November?
