I’m home, unpacked and rested. Bob is home, don’t know if he took time to recover or got right back to work.
The map now shows the changes to my route in blue. It was easy to adjust the route when most of the plans were just bouncing around in my head.
I’ve repaired the oil leak (I hope) and the speedo. Put two helicoils in the head so the valve cover bolts will stay tight. The speedometer had a bent part that I straighten. Might go for a test run later today.
I added up all my receipts, and to my surprize, I came in within a dollar of my daily target. Pretty good planning and execution if I do say so myself.
Was gone 20 days total, camped 5 days, stayed with friends 2 days, and motel/hotel the remaining days. Ate some awesome seafood, but noticed that the quality of the Mexican restaurants diminished as I went north and east.
Logged a total of 6,556 miles, visited or passed through 22 states, and 3 Canadian provinces. Above is a revised map of my route (changes are in blue). Averaged between 48 and 55 miles per gallon, and used way too much oil. Hopefully, the oil leak is a thing of the past.
Here’s some interesting bits about the bolg; maxium number of view in one day was 92 on June 28th, total number of views during the course of the trip was 1288. To all of you that have followed our adventure, and showed your support and encouragement, I say, “THANK YOU! Let’s do it again sometime.”
Got the new stickers on the bike. Now it’s time to start planning my next ride.
