I have completed all of my pre-ride checks for the bike trip to West Texas this week. Tires inspected and pressurized, lights, brakes, fluids, fresh oil and filter, new rear drive gear oil, and I flushed my coolant. This morning I packed the bike with my clothes for the trip. Not taking the trailer this time, just me going so I can pack light. It will be good to get back on the road, even if for only a short 750-mile trip (roundtrip).
I will be testing out my GoPro Hero 4 Silver on this trip as well doing some time lapse stuff. I hope to post along the way.
I have a crazy routine the night before a road trip. After I fill up the bike with gas, I back into the garage so that in the morning, I just right out straight. I think I started this routine when we would be riding with the trailer and backing out of the garage with the trailer is a pain. I was wondering of anyone else has any crazy superstitions or routines when prepping for a road trip?

It's 5:30 am and I'm just saddling up for a work trip to Chester Pa. About 450 miles of the PA pike, it is without a doubt the most boring trip a guy could make. I guess that's why it's called work, lol....08-19-2014, 05:36 AM
