Well I am getting ready.
It has taken me some time to get the Vstrom packt and ready for the trip South. On the 10th. of october I drove the bike to Palm Srings before the weather gets nasty in the North. This way I get the feeling of the bike and the ride,also what to take and wat is not needed.
The ride south was uneventful, the weather foggy until Portland then nice and sunny. Made it to Grand Pason day one, day two past Sacramento and day tree into Palm Springs by 5 Pm.
Saturday I went to the aopa Convention a fantastic Show, the planes were taxied to Down Town at the Convetion Center.
I will Leave the 15th. of November from P/S until the border at Lukewill.
Will post news from my travel.
