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.

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. :)

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.

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".
