1 Day to Go – Loading

A package of parts from Germany arrived this evening – perfect timing.  I let Touratech know that I was leaving on a trip and they were nice enough to rush the parts here, even had them labeled “Urgent!”  They were super responsive and let me know they were rushing them out – Thanks!

Achtung! Schnell.

The oil issue appears to have been resolved, no more leaking oil so it looks like it was just leftover oil spilled on the center stand during the oil change.  Nice of them to wipe it off after.  I mounted up my Spot GPS which will be sending the map updates, also tossed some fork socks on to keep the rocks and mud from doing some damage.

I was looking to upgrade the horn so I went with the Fox40 EcoBlast.  Super loud and looks cool.

With a bunch of work to finish off tomorrow morning I’m not in travel mode yet, but that should change the moment I pull out of the driveway.  A few years ago in Cuba I watched a guy crash the rental scooter 3 times in the parking lot before they revoked his rental, I’d like to prevent a similar Elegant Departure.
