Pre Ride Eve

So, it's Tuesday evening and I'm getting anxious.... I've been here for over 24 hours and it was a good thing that I took the extra day to get last minute things done - a head light bulb went out (which I fixed), I needed another pill case so I can separate my meds, needed to fix a glove box door which had come loose in all the wind, just little things.

Had two witnesses come from the local surrounding area to sign my witness form, so I'm good to go. Will leave about 0515 tomorrow morning when the temps are expected to be in the mid 40s. Kanetsu time!! I will go to Breckenridge for my start receipt, then go immediately across the river for a gas stop and a SD receipt.I shouldn't have to stop again until Sioux Falls, SD for gas. Then down to Sioux City, Nebraska and turn left. Simple, huh!!

I have no idea when I will be able to take time to write again here, but you can rest assured that I will fill in the blanks at a later time.

One Week to Go...

A week from today I'll leave for ND. I don't want to have to rush up there, find a a witness or two, try to rest, etc., etc. so I'm gonna be there a day early.
I'm slowly conquering the lists - bike goes in tomorrow for new tires, valve check/adjust (expensive!!) and fork oil change. Brakes are okay Need to fix the big PIAAs, but will do that at the Honda shop when all the Tupperware is off - I'm sure it's just a loose connection because they worked just fine when I had the plastic off before.

To the dentist this morning, then multiple miscellaneous things to accomplish.....

Getting anxious to get going...
