This is it!

This is it - after many months of preparation and dreaming (more dreaming than preparing actually); the day finally has come! I'm extremely excited but a bit nervous at the same time. I know I have sort of a plan and I'm sort of packed. I guess I would just have to wake up on Sunday morning and ride off. It's a blessing to have all the best people in the field working for me otherwise I would have never been able to make this trip and leave the office for two weeks! I just hope I'd still have my job when I get back...

Here's the bike with the new topbox. This pic was taken just after the Safety Inspection at the BMW Motorrad workshop. The gave it a nice wash too!

And here's the pic during the practice setup of the tent few evenings ago. It's roomy but it's also light - and it will save me a lot of money that otherwise I would have had to be spent on motel bills! Come to think of it, the money that I spent for the tent vs. money I save from motel bills gave me a return on more than 1000%! How's that for IRR...

More pictures to come (I'm sure I can spare some time in between packing my stuff)...
