Attempting first SS1k / BBG

[FlyingJ]

Well I plan on attempting my first SS1k next week. I will be leaving from Fenton, MI. and riding to Zephyrhills, FL. Going to visit my mother so I thought I would add something to the trip to make it a little more interesting. After my visit with mom I plan on continuing down to Key West and sight see for a day then make my way up to West Palm Beach. From there I will attempt the BBG from West Palm Beach to Owosso, MI. and end it at Tech Day VI where the one and only forum Oracle, Jester and Trouble maker resides... He has agreed to be my ending witness so this is something I have to complete or I will have to here it from this man.

I plan on posting a link to the ride so anyone interested can follow it on SpotWalla.

I don't have a exact day or time yet for my departure but it will be sometime at the beginning of next week. I will keep those who are interested informed as time draws near.

Best wishes for an enjoyable and successful "first time".

Be safe, have fun and remember - no matter what happens, you'll have stories to tell and memories that will last a lifetime!

As for the ride....... Good Luck!

As for the jackass at the end of the rides......... My Condolences.

Jay has asked that, since it will be later in the day and a tech weekend to boot, that I not be drunk and naked when he arrives.

I think he's gonna be disappointed again. Just hope he doesn't decide to get pics. Kneebone might toss his paperwork.

I really am looking forward to this trip, It's going to be fun and quite challenging.

Lord knows what I'll be riding into when I arrive at my final destination...at least I'll be numbed from the ride and lack of sleep to help with what I might see.

As you well know there will be Kanadians here.. I'll do me best to keep 'em in line but......

 

[FlyingJ]

Oh god...I forgot about the Kanadians...

Flying J will be taking off from my turf. He will be riding with my SPOT on the BBG. I will post a link when I am home from work. After he sent his route plans to me, I realized he knew what he was doing. Now I find myself in envy over his ride... But then again... Michigan in April- BURRR...

Good riding J

Your going to be too tired to keep both eyes open at Busts-not a good thing

Worry more about what you feel when you get there

Ya, that's just the way Bust likes em'.

Good luck, BBG's are an exercise in pain management.

 

[escapefjrtist]

Good luck with both rides.

Keep the wheels spinning and stops to a minimum and you'll be fine!

Its nice to have for review and documentation

You can use mine for the BBG - Just mail it back

(You could leave it on when you mail it... free parcel tracking) ;,)

 

[FlyingJ]

Thanks for the offer Tony, I think I will take you up on it. Spending to much time with this thing, need to be concentrating on other things.
