No different than a $40 tshirt off the rack at a Harley dealer. You pay them a premium to be a walking billboard for them.

100% ready to roll. Maps are tweeked itinerary updated. Bike is completely packed. Gear is layed out. Nothing to do now but wait.

nope

Been locked for over day now. Where the hell have you been?

You too

Your the bitch today...well everyday really.

Now that we've established your pornhub user name how about we come up with a motorcycle forum name?

I'm gitty in anticipation. Everything is ready and we truly are squeezing a lot of sweet sites in in the 16 days. Ours will be right around 7000 miles. I want this to be a total independent trip and only need to purchase food,lodging and gas on the way. In other words take everything I could ever need with me. We need to prepare for 90 degrees across the plains and potential snow in the northwest passage and everything in between.

And you were probably half my age at that time. The way I see it if I can bring it I will. I'm not riding average of 450 a day every day for 2 weeks and not having the gear and equipment I should have that is sitting in my garage.

Mostly packed. Left bag..tools, jump pack, other emergency things and WP touring jacket Right bag..laptop, airhawk(just incase), jacket&pant liners and extra gloves Tail bag(on rear seat)...snacks, drinks, visor cleaning stuff and other odds and ends Tank Bag..camera, glasses,other odd and ends Top case...basically my suit case that's going into the room every night. Cloths,toletires, shoes, ect.

Nice! Got it locked up.

If only people had touring bikes to enjoy far off places

anyone we know?

Welcome! Looks like @CrazySkullCrusher's old bike.

and is selling the touring bike he owns

My bike is ready but me and my a......never mind, TMI Just leave it as I'm not ready...Yet

What a state of mind "Soup" will put a man in

Think we have also decided to uninvite @Tonik. He wasn't going anyway it just wouldn't be a proper trip with out him bitching that he wasn't invited. So that is now done.

Well technically I'd would call his driver he would relay the message and 'd get a return call from him on his drivers phone. Usually how it works. When I got a estimate from him I had to go pick him up at his place and bring him to the house during evening hours.
