Hey everyone! It's been a while since I have done a major trip of any kind on the bike. The last trip was was pretty short compared to my new one. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I was laid off from ASV Inventions due to lack of funding for my positions <----- Short Story ----Company is on hard times
I have been itching to go home and see my family seeing I haven't seen my mom in months and coming from a close family that feels like to long. Anyways between the cost of air fair and driving my 91 Jeep Cherokee, the thought of taking a few days to get home and riding my motorcycle just seems so logical. :laugh:
My sister just came down to visit for a few days and when she drove back she took a suitcase and my camping equipment for a family vacation in July which will lighten the load.
I am planning on taking two days to get there which I know for some of you that is too long but I have no schedule and want to enjoy the ride and also not burn myself out. My tires have plenty of meat on them and I am planning on doing an oil change since I am around the 3500 mark between changes. I am going to look over the chain again to make sure the tension is correct and I have plenty of brake pad left.. .
Looking for feedback on what I should bring and also make sure I check on the bike before I leave.
( I will have my Triumph Panniers, Core-Tech Duffle bag on passenger seat and possibly my tank bag)
