316 Days to the Ride

Today has been a day of researching not only places to see but "things that can go wrong" if you don't pay attention. I read a great line on the website "oldbagsonbikes" that I need to remember; it goes something like this; "things that aren't attached securely tend to disappear quickly".
I encourage each participant to read this travelogue to have a few laughs, see some good photography and to learn from these ladies what can go right and wrong when making a long distance motorcycle ride. The travelogue from Tim Sheridan is also a good one; he rode the 4 Corners ride and did almost 12,000 miles in 21 days. He has some great points on what we can expect and has been a good sounding board for the questions I have been asking.
Not much else going on as far as planning. Sunday I will go and buy the luggage rack and start mounting the Nelson-Rigg Tour Bag; ought to be interesting. I hope my laptop will fit in there safely.
