Just got home from an epic camping road trip, what an amazing time it was. 8 days, 2500+ miles,. I experienced Snow and 100+ degree weather in the course of a few days. All I brought with me was my armored jacket and jeans, waterproof duffel bag for camping gear and my trusty helmet (bug murderer). A good friend of mine came along with his Honda Phantom.Ready to go:We started off from Denver Colorado and headed up to Crested Butte, beautiful small ski town. One of my favorite places in Colorado for sure.Second day we rode to a remote part of Colorado called Gateway, place felt desolate, don't think we saw more than one car drive past. Camping in these sandstone cliffs was pretty cool.We then headed over a 12,000 foot high mountain pass (LaSal Mountains) to get to Moab Utah, mostly a dirt road, the NineT is not great at this due to its sport tires, but made it none the less.The national Parks around Moab Utah are nothing less than amazing, by far the best part of the trip. Arches and Canyonlands are absolutely crazy. If you ever have a chance to visit here, i recommend you do.We then meandered through southern Utah to northern Arizona. Monument Valley in utah feels like you are on Mars, nothing green or alive as far as the eye can see. A large part of this area is the Navajo reservation, super welcoming people overall, but you can feel the tension at times. Navajo Tacos (indian fry bread) are a delight.A few hundred miles of driving in the 100 degree desert and we arrived at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The views are so massive its hard to comprehend. Really enjoyed how few people were around, allowed us to take this place in better.We were running short on time so we started back towards Colorado at this point, Durango, Sliverton and Ouray Colorado are spectacular tiny places. its startling how quickly the environment can change in this part of the country. These photos were taken literally hours apart.So, to sum up this trip:The NineT is actually very comfortable for long hauls, I was sore afterwards for sure, but not that bad as we tried to stay under 65MPH most of the time. The seat and somewhat sporty position worked for me (I'm 215 pounds and 6 foot 4).The heads protruding off the sides of the bike were a bit weird for me at first, but after learning that you can extend your legs over them to stretch out, I came to love them.Everyone loves this bike. On the open road in America the only other motorcycles you ever see are massive road king style Harley Davidson's. I think most of these guys thought I was crazy for riding a naked bike, I felt like they were missing out on a bit of the experience. A bike like this really forces one to get personal with the elements.Never had a single problem, BMW knows how to build 'em
