This trip sounds awesome. Kinda odd that I was at the Texas State Fair today with the family and my wife brought me some brochures to Big Bend Tx. Then here I see it tonight.. It must be a sign. I would be coming from Dallas (if I get to go) and have never been on a trip this long. What kind of provisions would you guys suggest?

well ... really .. just a few pair of cloths to change in to each day ( we dont need any stinky ppl !) a rain suit ... last time i was there we hit some ran toward the end of the ride .. and money . cellphone, ect. nothing out of the normal if you where going on a car trip .. just ... if you have a blow out .. your SOL :P you might want to start taking some good trips around that area . your looking at 9 hours from austin . your looking at about an 2 hours from austin from the south side of dallas ... your looking at 11 hours one way if you try to do it all in the same day .. or you can drive down to waco and stay the night at my place and then the few that are going with me from around here can all ride down to the meeting spot in Austin,tx .... i have not got any word on how many are willing to ride it or who want to trailer them down there . i would rather ride ..but if the majorty want to trailer them down there then that will be ok to i guess

I would much rather ride than trailer, thanks for the info. I have a buddy who is interested as well. I just have to see if the vacation time is availiable when the trip comes around.

Didn't know you were planning over her too! 
I still really want to go, but I have a few things that I am worried about on the bike. First off is I am not even pushing 100 miles a tank right now, but by the time March rolls around I should have my new tank on there that hold another 1.5 gallons, as well as having my carbs synced which is screwing up my MPGs. The other thing is, it's still old, new(er) engine, but it's still old. Did anyone say anything about trailering? I would like to ride, but if someone had a trailer just in case that would be a settling thing to know.
Then again, you know I am hoping to have another bike by that time as well, but I don't know if that is going to happen or not. Don't count me in quite yet, but I am going to do everything I can to make the trip.
