Hondajimz Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Made it home safely last night. Took Hwy 70 - 50 and 88. Was a beautiful ride and wasn't cold at all. I got extremely lucky as I didn't pay attention with fuel and got into Salina on fumes. I also damn near had to spend the night on a park bench. I didn't book a room anywhere as I wasn't sure where I would end up. I saw plenty of hotel options in Salina so I assumed I would be good if I chose that route and made it that far. Bad decision. (Yes, I knew it was Memorial weekend ). lol It was close to midnite and every hotel was booked. I was getting desparate and rode over to the hotel that provided the most help when I was calling for rooms. I was going to ask if I can just hang out in the lobby for awhile to get some rest before getting back on the road. When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw an empty room that looked like it was under repair. I asked if I could rent that room as I only needed to sleep for a few hours. They did me a huge favor and gave me another room they said needed a refridgerator. I took it and had a good nite's rest. Best part is I got it for $60 The rest of the ride was uneventful. Sorry I didn't take any pics as I was pressed for time. Richard, you are a madman for doing that on a bicycle. Props to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props to you. we did that one year in kansas at super chevy sunday. we thought hell there will be a room. NOPE, luckily we got a room with no beds, paid full price and slept on the floor with their blankets and pillows, just needed a/c and a shower lol. fun times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
