Hey ...Just a quick update... Last Sunday night I ended up in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy.. It has pushed up my leaving date now until sometime after Oct. 22nd. Damn good thing it happened now as once out of the US , I would not have gone for medical help and or , there may not have been any around... Will head straight for the Mexican border now instead of the HUBB meeting that I was planning on attending in Calif. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/meetings/California2012.php
I was really looking forward to the "Off Road" course that was being offered among many things....Back to learn as yu gooooo...
Mending well...Eliza

Spent some time this week with my Master Mechanic Guru Micah Fenwick of Belmont Motorcycle Performance ! I highly recommend him friends. He works on all models and makes. Learned how to change the oil, filters, fuses , plugs , tire repair, and general maintenance. Upgrades to the bike included crash bars, skid plate, hand guards, extra electrical outlet and fan switch.

Will have onboard..Zumo 220 GPS, "Spot" GPS, Laptop, and  cameras, Canon 1D mark ll and Canon GX1... and my ipad... i love the thing
