Finally have the trip lined
out and arrangements finalized.
My bike, a 2003 Yamaha Roadstar Warrior is equipped with Hard Bags, a Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing, Foot boards, a modified saddle and backrest, a rear fender rack.
Most days are relatively short rides on
the order of 300 miles (4-6 hours) in the saddle. Though last year I did 789 miles in one day from Marysville CA to Coalville UT including a few side trips.
It will be real interesting to place some faces to Upland Journal and Roadstar Warrior Forum names along the way.
