Getting ready for the trip back to Detroit and to Moab. I have been buying new parts and doing upgrades on the bike, as you can see by the picture on the intro page to the site. I may have gotten in a bit over my head, but I think i’ll be able to have the thing in working order by the time we start out first ride on the 7th. Awwww yeah.
Getting the bike to Moab is actually turning out to be the biggest obstacle of all. I have a Trico sports case, and it just comes in over the size limit for standard shipping with either Fed Ex or with UPS. It makes a huge difference on the price if it comes in over the limit, and hopefully removing the rubber ‘legs’ on the thing will help shrink it down and make it pass the measurement at the shipping office. The airlines want to charge 80 per leg, so that would mean, 80 to detroit, 80 to utah, then 80 back to san jose. I can’t afford to spend 240 on airfare for my bike. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am already considering getting rid of the Trico case. They advertise it as UPS shippable, they just neglect to tell you that it won’t meet the size requirements. Bastards.
Not much else to write, I’m kinda tired and not feeling like I can write too much right now. So perhaps tomorrow there’ll be some more to report. Till, then …
