Tomorrow, we ride..

There are a lot of things I could say about this trip tomorrow, some of the highlights are:

Longest ride to a destination, 686 miles. Heather is on her own bike so the dual ride to Newport News, VA will be longer, riding separate bikes than I have ridden solo.

I haven't ridden more than 2 days to my destination. Leaving Wednesday morning, we're not projected to get there until Friday sometime.

We're going slower than usual, checking things out, possibly testing out some coffee along the way.
I usually don't take side roads or stay off of the interstate, I'm always trying to get there the fastest.

I built a backrest for both bikes so we will be more comfortable.

I also wired my motorcycle intercom for bike to bike radio communications, complete with remote push-to-talk feature to keep our hands on the grips. A huge thanks to Mark for hardware and technical support to do this.

In the last three weeks, I have done every possible maintenance item on both bikes before we go. With clean air filters, oil changes, brake fluid, coolant checks, chain lubrication, the extra engine oil Heather's '82 KZ750H will take, I hope to have the safest trip one can have.
