Destination: Russell Seats

Saturday morning I'm heading for Shasta Lake, California. I have an appointment with Russell Seats for November 6 to get a Day Long seat made for the Goldwing.

Saturday will be 834 miles to Winslow, Arizona.

Sunday is a nothing run of 481 miles to Mojave, California.

Monday a nice 523 mile jaunt to Fawndale Lodge, 5 miles from Russell Seats.

The long first day and short second day are to beat the cold temperatures by riding through most of the high altitude areas in the afternoon on Saturday. With the short day Sunday, I can wait until it warms up a little for the shorter cold ride from Winslow to Kingman, Arizona.

If you are bored, you can follow my travels on a Google type map display from my Spot tracking device here:

Dang Gene, and at our age too. I may need to trade the Nad for a wing. But wait, you did this stuff with your Nad. Have a safe trip and hope you like your new seat, altho you seem to do quite well with the one you have. :)

That's part of the reason for going there in person. I want to make sure the seat is the way I want it before I leave.

Wow Gene!

Hey while you're there, see if you can talk them into doing the group buy for us.

I just want to get enough miles in on the Mustang seat that's on the Wing now so that I can have a good comparison with the Day Long.

There is no comparison to the Russell day-long seat. I don't even reposition my butt between fill ups. I will never have another bike that doesn't have the Russell day-long seat.

Okay ObamaJack. You spun that one around pretty good. Gene's not riding in the middle of summer and going through 900 miles of desert...

Nice try..

Last time I checked you were about 50 miles from Winslow.
The tracker is clear now so I guess you made it.
Looking at the location of the messages,
it doesn't look like you stopped long enough to eat.
Maybe Brad's right, you might be a robot.

Wanderer should change his handle to "Mean Gene the riding machine".
