The Viking Run - 75 Days to Departure

 


Seventy five days!! Might as well be seventy five seconds with how fast time flies. I have yet to try to pack and load out the bike and that needs to happen soon. I ordered a tail rack for the bike in March and it has yet to arrive. It's kind of a key element to the way I plan to load out the bike. It will also be the primary way the aux fuel tank will be affixed with my main luggage bag on top, or at least I think so. So, that needs to get here ASAP. 

I did get new tires, ordered from Revzilla, Michelin Road 6 GTs, which are supposed to have amazing wet weather traction and more importantly, longevity. The OEM Bridgestone Battleaxes I have on the bike now were good for about 6000 miles, which is about the length of this trip alone. The Road 6's are supposedly good for 12,000 miles or more, supposedly

The Viking Run, Day 33 - Wawa, Ontario

  It's been a week or so since my last entry. Multiple reasons for that. Several nights without available internet or too late to get on...
