great collection dude, I lived in Dallas, TX for the past 4 years before moving back to chennai, India, and owned a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, and Infinity G35 before that. Have toured much of Texas, New Mexico, and parts of North East, Boston, New Hampshire, NY ,NJ. Had an awesome 4 years. Lookin forward for your inputs reg bikes.

recon mission--- sounds gr8. A must before a biking trip out there. U must b still enjoying in the car the whole trip

Cool Man...! you did some nice touring.... & great cars too... I'm eying a G35 as well, as soon as my G20 dies off...

Riding bikes on the highways is pure joy...there you get to see what these bikes are cabable of and then some....

I bought my previous bike Ninja 500 mainly for commuting as my commute was 45 miles (72Km) each way...it was a nice "little" bike (by US standards), great on gas, sufficient power and handled great due to its light weight.... Did not get to do much long distance touring on it as riding 90mi every day was good enough... Since I live in a hilly area there are a lot of twisties in a 50 mi radius....never needed to go far....

This winter I swiched my client and now my commute is "only" 80mi (130Km) each way...Once the winter is over, I am looking forward to commuting with my Aprilia....

Oh yeah... driving the car on those roads was also an exhilarating experience....though could not take many pics as we were on a tight schedule... however I managed to take a couple of videos on my cell while driving...check them out...
