Glad he made it. Thank you very much for the updates.

After Jim gets settled we look forward to his break down of the trip and the new job.

Best of luck to the both of you!!

Thank God he's there safe. He's hardcore, let me tell you. Even on my Gold Wing that would have been a significant distance.

When does he start work? When are you and the kids moving? How are the rest of you travelling?

Yay Jim!

Glad you made it ok buddy.

just went through this post, glad he made it. sounds like one really really really long ride.

altho im not sure i could do it with out taking some sort of tools. even in my car if i leave town for a 30 mile out of town trip, got a jack and a jack stand in the back floor boards and my travel tool kit in the back seat.. i know on a bike you cant really carry a jack and all of that. but a socket wrench set would be handy to have or even a socket wrench and a few of the most common sized sockets you would need for the bike..

but none the less glad he made it there safely....

I think he made it on prayer and Grace as much as anything else.
