Heading out Monday morning for my first trip in a couple of years. First outing since before my Heart transplant in 2012. September 26th will be my one year anniversary of my new heart. Celebrating a bit early by going to ride in some of the best areas you can hope for. Although i've been there before, I believe I will see it in a bit of a different light this time around. Unfortunately, timing and schedules got in the way and I just missed the recent Southeastern rally that was held this weeked. Wish i could have made it there to meet some forum members. I know ya'll had a blast. I am feeling great now at almost a year post tranplant, and intend to ride some of the more mild gravel routes in the Tellico/North Carolina region, as well as the great paved roads in the area. Will be there for four days so I hope to get in a good number of miles.
Must say this will be my first away trip on this bike and I'm pretty excited about it. Been waiting for over 2 years for this moment. I was one of the first shipment PDP buyers and have greatly enjoyed this bike since delivery (even though it was delayed) and had to wait even longer due to health issues to get to this point. In getting ready and packed to go, I will say that I am very pleased with my Yamaha panniers and top box with the liners and the way my stuff has stowed away in them. I know they get a bad rep for being a bit fiddly with the locks and such, but Ive had no issues with mine as long as I use them properly. Got new rubber on the hoops (sorry Jaxon, K60's from you next time I promise O) bike is all tuned and serviced and ready to go. im not real savy with picture posting but I will try extra hard to post a few pics when I get back.
Cant Wait to get going!!!! ::022:: ::26:: ::014::
