    Have a fun trip, I'm rooting for you

    Surprisingly I didn't have any trouble in the TD on my long trip through the Rockies last April. Lots of freeway driving, it wasn't a big deal. I guess it depends where you are, though.

    Yes, it will be good to meet up again...see you there soon

    I appreciate it and luck certainly is a part of it...

    Thank you, that is the plan going and coming

    Thanks Jim, I always follow your travels and root for you. I am sure that it will be loads of fun
    Planning to get on the road 5 AM tomorrow morning and have coffee with Bozo in Santa Rosa, NM
    I liked that TD and glad you got it...
    Salute

  10. Likewise - I'm glad I run out of aerodynamics in the mid-70's on a beach...

    Safe is good...on the road in a few

    Thanks and took extra oil just in case

    Good nights sleep and almost on the road

    LOL 40 mph road speed with a 40 mph headwind is like a video game

    Aerodynamics? Kinda

    Yeah, the 6v headlights leave alot to be desired, I did the LED upgrade from Berts, the lights are so much better...
