Getting out of town
Getting out of town
To get ready for a trip like this takes a lot of work. So I wanted to drop a quick thank you to everybody who helped us.
The guys at Motorcycle R and R in Midvale were great, they are the only place to go if you drive a BMW. They spent a whole day going over every inch of my bike. Making sure everything was up to date and in working order. They even let me hang out in the shop and look over the mechanics shoulder while he worked, so maybe I learned a little while I was there. When I asked what tools and extra parts I should take on the trip. They said, “You drive a GS, just enjoy the ride.” Is it possible to drive 8000 miles and have nothing break? We shall see.
Partyland in Springville was a huge help preparing the “Get Lost” party we had. It was a big success and I was surprised at how many people came to see us off. So many goodbyes are in order when leaving for so long and the party made it easier on everybody.
Thanks to all our friends that helped us prepare, set up the party, and gave us treats for the road.
But a big frowny face goes to the guys at MotoXoutlet in Orem. Mitch bought a tire from them and they gave us the constant run around. Told us it would be done in two days and it took 5 so Mitch has his bike with no front tire just sitting there. It was frustrating because we needed to be out filming more video and taking pictures for the trip. If Orem is over run by aliens and the only way out is by motorcycle, and you don’t have tire. You would be better off letting yourself be captured, at least save yourself the stress of trying to buy something from MotoXoutlet.
