Update from the road.
Met up with Dave the Welder a bit West of Lansing & headed north up M66. A successful roadside repair was made to my sidecar rig to adjust the car's alignment. The rig was pulling pretty hard right. The adjustment helped, but it still took a bit of grunt to hold a steady line.
We arrived at Cycle-Moore campground just after dark (250 Zilla miles since Kzoo) We set up camp then went in search of food. We took the sidecar rig (aka grocery getter) with Sean as ballast to the store for brats, dogs, beer & fixings. A quick meal and it was off to bed.
Sean, Dave, Mark & Dan got off to a good start north Thursday morning. A slight oops in that the banner & log books were left in the chase vehicle. But not to worry, Bill and his truck were pretty much on the way to Elk Rapids where Rat Racer and Fuzzball were to meet up with The Thundering Hurd.
A day of wrestling the sidecar took it's toll on me. I elected to turn the rig south and ride easy on home. Will prolly make it a two day trip. I'm disappointed about lost Zilla miles and especially bummed about not meeting fellow forum members, but there was just no way these old bones were guna make the ride safely. Better to survive and ride again next year!!
Ride safe gents! Have fun and do GZ proud!!
