[QUOTE="gregory, post: 1397443, member: 8728"] Just replaced my Laam with a Russell. YMMV. Let me know when your in town, if the planets line up, maybe get a beer. Desert heat is [B][I]BRUTAL[/I][/B] if you are not used to it. We had 70 days over 100 degrees here in Redding last year. Make sure that you have a hydration system and use it. Also a good idea to carry a spare 1.5 liter, just in case. You might want to pick up a cooling vest in San Diego for the run to Denver. Agree with Bugnatr, 36 is a blast. If you want to ride the whole thing so you can get the photo op at Red Bluff, cool. If you want to local back route to Platina, PM me. Keep an eye on those tires. I think most pull the OEM's as soon as they get the bike (I know I did) and I really don't have any idea how long they last. I would also check for road closures along your "planned" route. AFAIK, there is still a list of members, where they are located and what type of help they can give in a pinch. This is a group of the finest degenerates anywhere. Congrats on the retirement, I am still looking at 10-15 years. Sounds like an epic trip, can't wait to read the ride report. Gregory [/QUOTE]
