This morning I picked up my motorcycle from the service shop at Snake River Yamaha. Wow, they weny over my bike with a fine tooth comb and lubed, adjusted or fixed absolutely everything including adjusting the valves, changed the oil, trans oil and rear gear oil, replaced sparkplugs, and adjusted the carb for two and a half bills. Money well spent. They even gave it a quick wash, not a detail job like I would do at home, but way cleaner than when I dropped it off.
It felt good to be back in the saddle again. My motorcycle has been in the shop for 6 days now. They actually had it done on Saturday but it was raining and they are closed Sunday and Monday, so today was the first day I could get it. The best part was when I rode it to work--NO MORE "Tick-Tick-Tick"! Now I can start my trip with peace of mind and confidence that my bike is in the best shape it can be in for the long ride.
I am getting excited because its getting warmer each day. Yesterday was beautiful but a little breezy. Today is going to be warm, and tommorow we expect to see temps hit 90 degrees. The day I am supposed to leave is predicted to have afternoon thunderstrorms, but I should be reaching the California border by then. Hopefully I won't get caught in a cloud burst.
