Finishing the Lower 48

Picked up the bike yesterday after new tires, brakes and an oil change . . . In the past month she has also had the clutch bled and the radiator flushed and filled . . .

Yesterday afternoon, my deck looked like a leather bazaar . . . My jacket, chaps, three pairs of gloves my pilon bag, my boots and my rain gear all getting mink oiled or sprayed down with camp dry . . .

Tonight my routes were loaded up onto my GPS . . . will be transferring them into Rand as well . . . Other than that . . . there's not much else to do but wait for Friday . . .

The BIG ONE starts on Friday!!!!

So for those interested . . . if'n you're interested in following along . . . here are the crucial web links:

The outbound ride plan:

http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.c...6&locale=en_US

The return ride plan:

http://rideplanner.harley-davidson.c...9&locale=en_US

The SPOT link:

http://share.findmespot.com/shared/f...vjM5zreTaGPXFD

And finally the Tumblr Blog which we hopefully will post to daily from the road . . .

http://two-wheeled-therapy.tumblr.com/

Don't get too excited if the SPOT doesn't start moving much before 2:30 on Friday afternoon . . . but once she starts moving she ain't gonna stop for too long for a while! Once she does, not only will I finally have the lower 48 on two wheels, I will have the lower 48 on two wheels THIS year!! I am stoked!!!

Plus Alaska, so you only need Hawaii to finish the complete set after this.

Be safe!

Believe me I'm trying to find a way for work to send me to Hawaii so I can add that this year too!

Hope to see you on the way home . . .

Napom,
What day are you coming up the leg 4? Is 4 Sunday night's stay? You are going right by me.
I'd ride with you for awhile if that'd be OK.
Ride safe,
Smokier

3 to 4 Should be Sunday . . . 4 to 5 Should be Monday . . . but the numbers aren't set in stone . . . We have no reservations anywhere and only an end date that is set . . . Best way to check us is the SPOT Tracker - see how we are doing and intercept . . . We will be my Voyager, A Triumph Commander LT (Blue and white) and an Old Gold Wing (Gold) . . . If I see a Vaq or Voyager I will definitely notice . . . Wave me down or fall in line!
