267 Days to the Ride

The dreaded call came last night; the call from the Harley Dealer asking me when I was going to put the bike into storage for winter. I'm not ready for winter and I'm not ready to put the bike away for the next six months but it is coming soon. We're struggling to get temps into the 50'sF so it will be soon but why did they have to remind me of it this week? On the plus side this means that the trip is drawing ever closer and the real preparations can begin in earnest by next March. By then we should have the following items completed:
1. Confirmation of who's making the trip
2. Finalization of the route out and back and sights we want to see
3. A good handle of where we will be staying each night (subject to conditions, of course)
4. The bikes should have all required maintenance done with only minor items requiring service prior to departure
5. The practice season to hone those dormant riding skills will begin in April for us Michigan residents; our two Florida residents will be riding all winter long.
I hope all you participants are getting as excited about this as I am.

To Bob Mcmanus; hope your recovery is on schedule and uneventful. We're looking forward to having you along for the "ride"
Safe Home
