Good to hear you guys got to your destination safe, wasnt sure what the weather was like on your end. but it was completely horrifying up here. I tried to call you guys, but when we parted,  you may or may not have know how bad the weather got. it was a 20 feet fog and just a torrent of rain. My phone died and so did my camera.

Me and Yahen ended up logging I think 16 hours to get from Roanake to NYC ( i just got home about 30 mins ago) its 2:47am Eastern time now). I dont know how many miles because my gauges are displaying all these weird symbols. the rain got in them and make the beast with two backsed up the LCD display.

Hope you guys enjoy your ride and get to all your destinations safely.

And Yuu, thank you for opening your doors to us (and sharing your oil!) you have an awesome dog btw! Hope your leg heals quickly and you can get back out and try that new Vee-Two clutch!

Weather is beautiful here in WNC, looks like they've got an excellent day for the gap!

Yea my gauges are make the beast with two backsing retarded right now. I wouldnt be suprised if the gauges die completely and i get locked out of starting my own bike. I'm take try and clean the board and seal it with some silocne caulk. Bike has spent 8/9 weeks riding through rain. this trip might have taken it over the edge. Lips Sealed

Damn dude, sorry to hear about all that. I hope it's nothing major. Did you get that oil leak fixed?

We are spending the night in Nashville, Tn. The ride tonight was cut short bc of migraine. We should be arriving in dallas early Wed.

Cheers!
