Shame to change it … 5700 km…

It can be difficult to get your head around it, the enormity of the land mass. Not something we are accustomed to. The lady in the dollar general store tells us she takes the kids, the grandparents and the dog to go shopping … a weekend trip. You look at the map; sure it’s only a small distance 50 mm on the page no more than Dublin to Donegal. Crossed n and South Carolina , Tennessee , Alabama , Mississippi , Arkansas , Kansas , Oklahoma , New Mexico , Colorado. And now we look at the 50 mm in Utah. That represents 990 miles to Idaho.  A long way on the multitude of HD machines parked everywhere, a very long way on a 450 / 690 trail bike. Dublin to Donegal looks inviting 😚

If You had an egg!!! Maintenance day!!!

Fred, the bike shop guy we booked into for the Morning (we had to prebook time). Is a interesting person. Ex farmer he has a collection of model tractors, 100,s of and a corvette tucked away amongst the junk in his workshop and tools hung neatly on the floor. ‘Whatever you do don’t touch my car ‘ he barks and see them tools, they are snap on and expensive. ‘Mind them ‘ as we tried to tip toe over their mounting place on the floor . Strange guy but ultimately helpful. All other customers turned away as this was our time. Bought the corvette with the sake of klr parts to which he specialised … models parked in the field we could tell. Oil, filters, brake pads, chain, sprockets, air filters changed we were on our way before Fred shut down again for the day. 990 miles to Idaho 💥😡
