ROAD TRIP 2009

So, we loaded up the bus, the truck and had the bike ready and raring to go...we headed down south to Victoria and took the ferry across the Port Angeles. Spent the night there and headed out in the morning through the Olympic National Park. Very pretty, even at this time of the year. It was a bit cold but I was still smiling.
The bike ran great except for a tired battery in Victoria at the ferry terminal and some bad fuel in California.
The short version is that we made it down, taking our time, into Las Vegas on the following tuesday. Some days we drove/rode for 5 hours and some for 8. I like the 5 hour days best. You don't have to sore of a butt at that point. LOL
I had to get a picture of the girl in front of the Las Vegas sign....so we road right up to it and stood in line like all the other people. There were some young girls there that were loving it that I was on the bike and getting the pic done. Funny

She is a 1994 and already had 66 038 kms on her when we left but she made a good run for me and put on another 1700 miles.
Today, she is having a battery fit. Not wanting to start but I have her on the charger now and will see what that brings. I think that it will be good, might have been the electric coat plug in draining the battery so, I disconnected it and am giving her some juice.



We are off the Scottsdale tomorow for some more sunshine (it has been about 90 degrees here this weekend) and to get some work done down there.

Isn't my girl pretty. I am very happy with her.

Till next time
Shannon
