Went to Dunham's last night. They have Frogg Toggs- $50- I might pick up a set, but I really hate the thought of rain gear flapping around. My overpants do a great job with cold or rain, just not so well in heat.
Looked at their earplugs too- lots of 25/26dB plugs. Most of them simply stick out too far, but I found some moldable silicon putty things I decided I'll try. They're rated 22dB, and should be able to get them flat enough they aren't irritating.

Good to hear Tommy...I picked up a Set of Sont Headphones...but Damn these things work great (So far) They mold into my ear really well...Gotta see how they fare with putting a helmt on but I think theyll do great...And there soft I had them in for like an hour last night and they didnt hurt at all...Granted I wasnt wearing my helmet but even my old headphones hurt after a few mins of wearing them.
Getting the Tailbag packed...Went to wal mart for my travel sized toilitries and shit...Picked up a Mini Mag light, and Some Zip Ties, Duct Tap and Bug Reppeelent as well as the other shit I bought...Just need to get a few more things, and Im straight... Tommy you have a tool/tire kit your bringing right?? And I think Derf is most likely bringing the truck so Im sure he has tools in that thing... Fuck Im excited and I still have 5 days left till we leave.

I can get together a tool kit...i know my bike takes mostly 10 and 12MM...And I looked into a tire repair kit at wal mart but i didnt know what would work for a motorcycle application....I didnt see anything specifically for Motorcycles...But I figured I wasnt going to since most people say not to patch/plug our tires...
Derf is probably still homeward bound but If hes bringing the truck maybe it would be a good idea for us to fill up one or two gas cans Just in case we misjudge our fuel stops??? Im just trying to take every pre caution neccessary. Im excited as fuck tho.

I got my rear tire mounted, the front didn't come in Fri though it shipped so it should be here Tue so I can get it mounted then. If not, the take off I put on there last week is good enough, just don't know it it'll be as sticky as the Metzlers are.
Anyway, I knew my flange bearings were getting a little rough last time I changed my rear tire and I almost put off worrying about it this time and waiting till after the rally. I'm glad I decided to pull the flange off the wheel and check the inner bearing too.... ![]() It's was looking a little rough ![]() ![]() |

OK boys I think my travel plans might be changing. I might have to shoot into brooklyn on wed afternoon/night for a funeral viewing. I'm still gonna leave in the middle of the night with you, but I wont be able to get any sleep at all that afternoon, so there is no way I'm gonna make the drive all the way in 1 shot.
In fact what I might do is start driving down myself until I get tired then text you where I am and when you make it that far wake me up and we will finish the ride together. I don't know what I'm doing yet, I have to wait and see before I make any decisions, but right now thats what I'm leaning towards. Unless either one of you has a trailer then i can meet tommy in brooklyn, pick sixxer up on the way back down and we just do the drive that way. I also think I may be able to borrow a trailer from someone here in NJ, but I don't am not sure, I cant get in touch with the guy. Anyone in NJ have a trailer I can borrow?

I am still inclined to make the ride down, and would go for meeting up with you somewhere down south. I guess we can see what sixxer wants to do and figure it out from there once your plans become more definite. Tom |
