I thought I would say a quick hello to everyone. While attending the Holiday lunch in January, I reconnected with a few of the club members and I've received some encouraging notes on Facebook and wanted to say hi over here as well. I haven't been as active in the club as I had hoped to be but after this ride, I'm hoping I can get up there a little more often.
I'm about to start the Iron Butt Rally next week (11,000 miles in 11 days) NOOOO I don't think I will be one of the riders to achieve the 11,000+ total miles but I do hope to be one of the finishers!
We have put a LOT of efforts in to getting the bike ready, and me as well. I've been riding longer days more frequently and adding more and more farkles to my BEAUTIFUL R1200GSA I am almost ready to go..... My fiance' is meeting me at the start and the checkpoints to help with anything mechanical that I might need but other than that, I will be on my own for 11 days, riding all over our beautiful country!!
A fellow BMWBMW member is also in it this year - Martin Cover is also riding!! I wish you all the best as well, Marty!
Here are a couple pics of our project Not the finish but a few of what we did...
My 2 loves... Blitz and Max
New aux tank - holds a little over 3 gal.
the dashboard - almost complete...
Time is almost here....I'm getting pretty excited!
See you all soon....
