I'm near Mt Rushmore, there are over1200 new miles on the old wing but I have an increasing bearing noise. It goes with rpm not speed I'm assuming its in the transmission. In that light I'm going by the Rapids City Honda shop this am. Unless they have an easy fix I'm probably looking at a leisurely ride back home 900 miles rather than the 2,000 more I had planned. I'll check back when I know more.

Good luck. I've found that a nice set of earbuds is very effective at reducing troublesome noises. Hope ya can still make it.

Lovely Needles CA. I put 3 weeks worth of work on my bike today. Held up well. Bike's excited as hell actually. FINALLY! He says. Pics later. Also, I am reminded of how much time I Do NOT spend in the desert.

 As of early thua afternoon I got a running bike,,sweet.
 But an oil leak, seems to maybe be settling down, it better or I may have to do a shorter trip.
Better start hauling out my stuff.

[RAFster122s]

Good luck guys !  Hope the issues sort themselves out.  Don, I hope the noises quieten down or they can fix it quickly being something easy...

I hope you can make it.  Frank...don't understand that your bike was running, clock going in reverse or is my memory slipping?  Likely the later of course.

 No pressure Folks-Its only the WORLD watching your progress    Good Luck and safe trip !!

The head gasket is leaking one side, and the base a tad.  But seems to be getting better not sorse.,will heat cycle it a bunch before morning.
 Worst case I can't go to Colorado but still do some shorter rides.
Be all figured out soon.

[fatmatt650]

Having a snack in Santa Cruz, .CA after a late start. Good to be on the road finally!

Good luck gentlemen, I'm picturing you guys riding. Have a safe trip everyone. I got my 78SS bike banging on all four today for the first time since I owned it. I had to do some soldering to the floats, I read Hondaman said it could be done, and I did it. I'm very happy tonight.

[NewBoots]

Leaving in morn. at 7am. Riding to Holly on hwy 50. Monday to Gunnison. Tuesday down my favorite rode hwy 149 thru Lake City, over Slumgullion pass, over Spring Creek pass, thru Creede, down to South Fork, and over Wolf Creek pass.

Your getting there early!  I think we're going to visit Durango Monday night with a midday arrival to Dolores Tuesday.

Current sitting in Joplin, Mo after 10 hours n wheels.

What's the verdict?

[754]

 I think I got it , reused one gasket and nay have forgot to tighten. 1080 spotted that.
Just took it 5 miles, looks good. Not going to get everything done on the bike, but it looks like it will do the ride. Will try to leave in the morning. Be a fun ride I hope. .

Great news Frank!!

Dash is ready to go

My guess is Dash (and Mooshie) are always read to go.
Have fun.
