Next year

well the state shut down put a big monkey wrench into the trip this year, so we are going to do it in 2012.

Parts

A nice company to do business with.  If they don't have your BMW part you don't need it.

Eine gute Firma.  Wenn sie den BMW Teil nicht fuehren, brauchen Sie ihn warscheinlich nicht.

Getting the bikes a once over before the big ride.

looks kind of naked.....

First snags

Well Tanner needs to get his motorcycle license updated and was scheduled for Thursday at the DMV.  But with the state shutdown the office is closed until further notice.  All vacation for me has been cancelled until the state is back up and running.  I don't see the shut down going until Aug, 1st but you never know.  Fingers crossed at this point.

Camera mounts for the bikes

Trying out some Camera mounts so we can have some action shots of the trip.

Tanner and I went for a short ride yesterday and the whole ride I kept thinking about what we will feel like when we get back from Alaska with 9000 miles put on the bikes in 30 days.

I'm sure glad we are taking the BMW's.  The 1150GS is really nice for being on all day.  Tanner's F650 gets a little vibration at higher speeds, being a single cylinder.  But at 17 I doubt I'll hear any complaints from him on such an awesome ride.

The jump off date is getting closer
