Packing Day

One day left before we head south. The weather should be great for the ride -- mid 50's to start, and getting warmer as we go!

On the advice of several people, I decided that we should buy a security cable to lock the bikes together, making it that much harder to steal them. One guy tells me he has a first floor room in Daytona, and his bike will spend the night in the room! That should work.

My brother had a problem several years back when he was at the beach, and someone switched the license plate on his Vulcan for an expired one. He never noticed until 6 months later, when he was pulled at a license check. Linda's plate is a littler harder to remove, and I put some locktite on the screws on mine. It won't be easy to get off; it's all about making it tougher for thieves, and hoping they move on to the next victim.

I think we packed everything. Tomorrow, I'll take a picture just before we load up, and you'll get an idea of how much we're taking for 6 days.

Since we're only going about half the distance (maybe a little more), I'm not too worried about getting an early start. We'll wait until 10 am or so, and the temperature should be on the rise by then.
