Nope haven't seen the article about the trip, Allen was supposed to let me know how they covered the story. We dont get that mag here on the island so I'm in the dark about the pics or write-up.

Well as luck would have it the website shows nothing pics-wise only a route map but the readings good. Now i'm wondering if the mag article has photos of Allen and Bobbi and the bike.

There were lots of pics of Allen at state welcome signs, and a couple of Bobbi (I assume she took most of the pics!).

I have the pics from the trip on a CD from Allen, BUT what i wanted to see is the article itself in the mag.
I guess that will have to wait until i can get my hands on the mag itself.
You are right Lane, Bobbi took almost all of the photos as she sat on the back and clicked away while Allen was riding.

Yeah, but MOST of the pics in the article are of Allen at the welcome signs. They weren't taken while riding. It doesn't matter; it's a good article, and I like knowing people that show up in the magazine.

Heres how it looks in the mag complete with the pics. I know its a bit blurry but still clear enough to be read.
Hmm two All(a)ens, two metallic orange GTs, not bad at all.
