The final countdown has begun.  I've got one more charity ride to participate in on Sunday and then the bike will get washed, waxed and packed for the departure on Wednesday, August 1st.  The route is set, the reservations have been made and the weather looks like it will cooperate.  Long range forecast for Sturgis is for temps in the 90's which is about what you expect for August in the midwest.  Those Seattle guys (and gal) are in for a treat.  Maybe they'll be able to dry out and scrape some of the rust off.
See you in Sturgis.
