RoadTrip 2022- Parts Are Coming In


As the time begins to creep closer to the ride beginning, the parts have begun to arrive to get the preparations moving.  Today, I received a new kickstand/footpeg/gearshift mount that should solve that issue with Gypsy.  Then it should be a simple case of replacing the starter breaker, and she should be ready to ride.  From there we can look at what needs to be done to her to get her roadworthy for the trip.  After Gypsy gets this bit finished, she will be temporarily replaced on the lift by Tennessee show she can get a new tire mounted.  

I have also begun to gather up things for the trip itself.  On Tuesday. I received a new trenching tool, fire starter, and folding solar-powered LED lantern.  

The basic camping gear is already set, for the most part.  I am going to look for a couple (metal) mess kits for cooking with.  Along with a small single burner stove for cooking and making coffee.  Pretty much everything else is good to go.  

Things are looking good so far.  At least on our end.  I am truly worried about some new travel restrictions coming down that would limit the ability to make the ride on the limited schedule we have.  But so far, so good.  This is looking to be a historic trip for Nick and me.

Catch ya on the road sometime...
