I have one extra sleeping bag anyone can borrow if they don't have one or don't have room to pack one on their bike. Just let me know.

With a shirt like this, who needs pants?
Nice, I know Thomas has a tent for me to borrow. I packed a good sleeping bag.xulf13 said:It will start to warm up by Wednesday. The nights will be chilli however, but hey Kiley's got a wood stove now. Whooohooo
I'm trying to figure out if I can save cash on a motel by finding some free camping on the way down Wednesday night. I figure I can make it down to Tennessee by nightfall, so that's where I'm scouting.
Anyone live near I-75 in Tennessee that can point me in the right direction?

Calm down and sail on
Getting the packing done tonight and tomorrow, then cleaning the bike Wednesday. Going to be pretty awesome! I'm excited, almost bought a pit bike this weekend when i went to a wedding. Hightly contemplated it haha! Then I eyed a Deuce and a half too.. I think that would have been sufficient enough to haul the 350f, HA! and the 750 when i win that too.. Just sayin.
So.... today I spent some time getting the bike ready
Got my 34 tooth sprocket back on - just fit with a few mm of chain adjustment (had a 30t sprocket on and had shortened the chain). I was surprised the chain was still long enough - happily surprised!
Bench synced the carbs, topped up the oil (looks like I have a bit of a tach seal leak) and she's good to go. Might do some tuning of the carbs tomorrow. Can't wait to see how much faster it accelerates with the 34t rear back on it. I had put the 30 on to lower the RPM and try to reduce vibe on the highway, but now that I built it a rephased 750cc motor and put the taller 5th gear on it, I'm going back to the 34.
Might lift the Suzuki 4LS front wheel just yet!

Big Rich said:Drewski - who do you refer to when you say "we"? You and the Mrs?
Last year Justin Longhorn and myself were up pretty late Sunday night, but left at 3 or 4 Monday morning. The first couple hours were the toughest (until Justin took the wheel
Nope, not "Mrs. Drewski"... my brother, Seaglider, is my "partner" for the weekend.
It's gonna be around 2:00am when we get back home. The shop opens at 8am. I hope I can sleep the last leg of the journey. Tuesday's gonna be a loooooonngggg day!
