He has been blogging, they had to ride a couple hundred miles through heavy rain ?2 days ago? The last blog I read ended with the bikes getting loaded on a ferry and taking a ride.

One thing that was shocking was how much oil several of the bikes were leaking. The rear wheels and tires were glistening in oil spray. I imagine it could make for some interesting handling, especially wet roads.
