Final Preparations in progress!

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.
