Last Days Before the Trip (Mark)

I am pretty excited about the trip but also a bit aprehensive about the first 3 days of riding to get out West. The plan for those days is day1 - New Orleans, day2 - Austin, days3 - El Paso. Some hard riding to do.

On a lighter note Alex needed to put a new tire on his Honda before the trip. So he decided to do a 'burn out' on his bike to burn off the rest of the tire. So he tries to do a burn out and the rear tire wont spin. Then the clutch starts slipping. So Alex comes over with the new tire, complaining about his slipping clutch and I tell him the obvious - 'dont do burnouts on bikes with linked brakes!' (ESPECIALLY BEFORE LONG TRIPS). Anyway the clutch cooled down and the bike is fine. We also put the new tire on.
