Why Did I Make This Pointless Blog Post? Oh Yeah, Foreshadowing

Over the weekend I picked up the bike and brought it to the Blitz Center Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School in New Jersey, where my instructor was kind enoughThere I installed the new plastics, tank, windscreen, and saddle with the help of Jeff Lande. Jeff is a buddy who also trains Jiu Jitsu and, I later learned, was interested in doing a motorcycle trip over the summer as well. We’ll be hearing a lot from Jeff because he’s already shipped his bike to California and is scheduled to meet me there.

Tuesday in the afternoon I finally loaded up all the stuff from my apartment and drove three hours upstate to leave it in storage. Drove back again the same day. Heat was at 100+ degrees for the entire move. Not fun. August 1st was the official departure date but I still hadn’t received some parts yet, so I had no choice but to wait.
