Bike is on it's Way!

I received an email from Joe at the dealership on May 19. The bike has left the York assembly plant in Pennsylvania and is in route to Anchorage! Funny how the bike I will soon be riding home was probably within 100 miles of my home and I will soon travel 4500 miles to pick it up!

I have changed the route somewhat. Originally, the plan called for spending the first night in Beaver Creek, Yukon Territories. After talking with another rider who plans to join me on the trip (he is shipping his bike up) and realizing that I may never return to Alaska, we will be spending a few nights in our 50th state. The planned route now includes a round-trip to the Arctic Circle via Fairbanks. This change means we may have a hard time hitting Washington and Oregon before we have to meet other folks in Jackson, Wyoming. But, hey, that is just another reason to plan a future trip to the Northwest!

62 days and counting. I can't wait!
