Other than having oil changed just before departure, the bike is ready. I finally broke down and bought a Shoei modular full coverage helmet. I have never owned a helmet that cost this much but it is worth ever penny. The quality is fantastic and everything works so smoothly. The optics for the clear visor and drop down sun visor are amazing compared to my cheaper helmets. It is heavier and a bit larger than my other helmets but that is due to the extra protection in the liner. I installed my CB headset and it seems to be a workable solution but won’t know for sure until I get on the road with Jim.
This will be the last post on my AK2 Prep Blog. I am starting a new Blog dedicated only to the AK2 trip and will post the link to the map tracking link shortly.
Once I get started I probably will not post on Facebook for the trip duration. I will put all pictures and daily updates on the AK2 Blog only. I will have limited time in the evening and don’t want to spend valuable drinking time trying to upload via a slow wifi connection somewhere.
Thanks to everyone showing interest in this trip and hope you enjoy reading about our adventures.
