Well, I finally got all my gear together and in the dry bags and saddle bags. Now I have to go weigh my bike empty, then loaded, adjust the tire pressures and the shocks. Woohoo! Departure is in a couple of days.

If it were me leaving for a great ride, I would tell everyone on the forum so they would be full of envy.

OK..hold on to your hats...er...do-rags..
The wife & I leave the Yukon in a couple of days & go to (in this order)
Prince George, BC
Vancouver, Nanaimo, Victoria
Then to Calgary, Alberta, then South to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, East to Wind Caves & Badlands, Detroit, Toronto, Ontario. Hang out with wife's parents and brother & his family. Then off to Nova Scotia (hook up with NSCoyote), then return to Toronto for the rest of the summer, then back to Calgary to visit our son & his family (and spoil the crap outta our grand daughter), then Vernon, BC & Kelowna, then back home to the Yukon by Sept 5th.
I think. Who knows...a lot can happen in 2 days.
Anyone know where we can pick up a toy hauler 5th wheel for a good deal. Doesn't have to be spankin' new...just comfy & cheap.
