My Cross Country Motorcycle Ride - Leaving

[dhgeyer]

As some of you know, I have been planning a cross country motorcycle ride to the West Coast for some time. I have set up a blog to record my daily progress, complete with photos and a Google map (my wife, Sue, is doing the map).

Well, I'm about ready to go. I will probably leave tomorrow morning. The blog website is up and active. I hope some of you will join me on my trip, through my blog. There is a message board there. Feel free to leave comments, or ask questions.

Good luck.
Do you not want to even SEE any of us along the way.....should we be near your route??
I'd gladly buy you lunch if the timing was right.

Alas, the messge display function of your blog comes out pretty ugly using IE. Hope the posts YOU leave are going to look better.

Do you have a planned course in mind?

I was going to poke at you (knee-jerk) for criticizing his page, but holy crap!

David, something is definitely wrong with your guestbook script and blog application. Need some help maintaining it, or setting it up properly?

Have fun. Let me know if you come by Southern California.

Update - Major bummer! I was going over the bike one last time, and the back wheel has a very small, almost imperceptible amount of play from the 12 o'clock to the 6 o'clock position. On the Beemers it indicates a developing final drive failure. Dealerships don't open till Tuesday, so I can't even get it checked out. But I suspect a major warranty repair. They may just replace the whole drive, which wouldn't take too long if they have one. Anyway, not going anywhere very far away tomorrow, or probably very soon.

Thanks for the heads up on the message display page. One little missing quotation mark can sure cause a lot of trouble. So the good news is, at least that's fixed.
